Unprecedented fiscal crisisDouble-dip recessionUnknowable eurozone uncertainties…and the social care system at breaking point.
What decisions will policymakers have to make?

‘Capped exclusion from means-tested support’
No one will miss out on more than £35,000 of council support because they are wealthy. Reaching the ‘cap’ still determined by family care + local decisions on level and form of support.
Increase in Upper Capital Limit (charging threshold) for residential care up to £150,000
![Page 12: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

But policymakers may still have concerns:
Funding – how will it be paid for? Is it worth doing ‘on the cheap’?Feasibility – will it work in practice?Outcomes – no overseas evidence or pilots.Risks – Treasury wary of government making promises.

So if not Dilnot – and assuming we do something… then what?

Other models of ‘partnership’
First – put these models in context…
![Page 18: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

What are the ‘other models of partnership’?
Potentially – lots of options
Two stand out:
![Page 21: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1) Co-payments/‘Wanless’33% of assessed personal care costs funded by councils, regardless of meansBroadly costs the same as ‘Dilnot £35k’
2) Raise means-test threshold/‘Means-test Plus’Raise Lower Capital to £150,000Costs slightly less than ‘Dilnot £35k’Broadly same outcomes in terms of asset protection as DilnotVery easy to implement
![Page 22: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Key points: Different pros and cons
Each just represents different settings of the ‘control dials’ of council support
Like Dilnot, costs can be dialled up or down, depending on generosity
Different models are not mutually exclusiveDilnot + Wanless
![Page 23: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

So if not Dilnot, then what are the options?
Do nothingDifferent ‘partnership’ model
But all this will ultimately be determined by the Funding Question…
![Page 25: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Funding Question…
…Where will the money come from to fund spending on care and support?
Costs of current baseline system going forward + cost of new ‘partnership’
![Page 26: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

But as well as public spending choices, there may be ways to leverage more private sources of funding for the care system…

Pre-funded care insurance
No country in the world has a properly functioning market.
Multiple demand and supply-side barriers. + extra barriers unique to England.
How much would be brought into system? Conservative estimate: £0.5 billion by 2025.
![Page 32: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Disability-linked annuities
Lots of demand side barriers: Only ‘DC’ saversMost have low value pension potsExisting bad annuitisation decisions (single-life; no inflation protection)
Conservative estimate: £0.3 billion by 2025
![Page 33: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
National Care Fund
Different versions… but a state-sponsored insurance scheme for personal care costsCan sit on top of Current System, Wanless, Dilnot, etc.Not ‘compulsory’ taxation, but overcomes demand-side barriers to private insuranceEnable people to use property wealth to insure themselvesCan become compulsory overtimeKeeps risks with private sector
Estimate of revenue: around £2.6 billion by 2025
![Page 34: dilnot 2012](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052604/568c35a41a28ab0235950ada/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
In conclusion: if not Dilnot, then what?
Do nothingAnother model of ‘partnership’
But whatever happens, we have to talk about where the money comes from.
