The Royal Commission and Structures for Elder Care

Abstract

The report of the Royal Commission on Long Term Care, published in March 1999, is to be subject to further consultation, thus delaying any progress on its recommendations which include important links to other Government initiatives in health and social care. The paper argues that its proposal for a National Care Commission could be the missing link to equity of care provision and care standards for older people, and early implementation should not be lost.
