This study employed an instrumental variable approach using conditionally exogenous elements of the public funding system to estimate the effect of public adults social care (ASC) expenditure on users ’ care-related quality of life (CRQoL). The findings show that increasing public ASC expenditure by £1,000 per user generates 0.0031 additional CRQoL. These results suggest that public ASC is effective in increasing users’ quality of life but only to a relatively small extent.ReportMore detail
