Dilnot commission publishes report on adult social care
The Commission on Funding of Care and Support has presented its findings to the government in its report Fairer Care Funding, published on 4 July 2011.
The report is accompanied by a letter to the chancellor and the secretary of state for health.
The independent commission, set up by the government last July, was asked to recommend a fair and sustainable funding system for adult social care in England.
The commission estimates that its proposals would cost the state around £1.7billion.
