UK's Commission on Funding of Care and Support Report

Steve Hards

“In the future, we anticipate that there will be continuous and rapid technological advances that will have a significant impact on the way care and support is delivered. New technologies are already making their way into care and support – from sophisticated telecare equipment to more simple devices such as kettle slings. These technologies already have the power to transform the lives of individuals and carers, and more opportunities will open up in the future. We hope that, once people know there is a limit on how much they will need to spend on care, it will encourage individuals and families to invest in new technologies early, to improve quality of life and prevent needs from escalating.”
