Coalition mid-term review set to announce long-term care plans

clock

Long-term care cost plans will be announced by the Coalition today when it issues its Mid-Term Review.

The review will include reforms including support for long-term care costs, childcare cost help, building more houses and changes to the state pension.

Ahead of publication Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "Today, at the half-way point in the parliament, we are taking stock of the progress we have made in implementing the coalition agreement that we signed in May 2010.

"But we are also initiating a new set of reforms, building on those already underway, to secure our country's future and help people realise their ambitions.

"Of course there have been some issues on which we have not seen eye to eye, and no doubt there will be more. That is the nature of coalition."

The review comes ahead of the launch of a long-term care report backing Dilnot proposals tomorrow in the House of Commons.

Former care services minister Paul Burstow is set to present the findings.
