As reported in the news today. The government is undertaking a consultation on the future of care and support for the disabled and elderly.

You can find out more about taking part at the Department of Health website click here. Though I note at the moment if you click the "Join the care and support debate" link it generates an error page. So you may have to try later.

I note this from the report -

"In 20 years time, the cost of disability benefits could increase by almost 50% (Disability Benefits (DLA, AA and CA) long term projections, DWP Forecasting Division, Nov 2007) and we expect a £6 billion 'funding gap' for social care (PSSRU projections, forthcoming 2008)"
