title: Sharing funding for long term care.
abstract: The issue of funding for long term care always generates considerable debate, and the situation is not helped by the existence of different polices across the four countries of the UK. In England, long term care is means tested, whereas in Scotland it is free. However, conclusions drawn in a new report, The Future of Care Funding - Time for a Change suggest that the funding system of long term care is not fit for purpose.
