Adult social care and the NHS: two sides of the same coin

This report provides an overview of total capacity and national trends across the health and care sector as well as the variation across the country. It focuses on demand for and provision of state-funded social care for older people as the largest group drawing on care and support but finds that fewer people are being supported by state-funded social care in England despite the increase in people aged 65 and over. However, the need for care and support is also increasing among both working-age adults and children.ReportNHS Confederation - publications
