Rather than living on a legacy, now is the time to start building a protection market which is fit for purpose in the 21st century.
A group of more than 60 government advisors, charity directors and independent experts have signed a letter to today's Daily Telegraph demanding radical reform to care and home help services.
When we look to reform the care system in this country, we find ourselves at a quite intolerable starting point. Age UK reported in June of this year that spending on adult and social care had risen by just 0.1% in real terms between 2004 and 2010.
Offering a better deal for family care would help make the case for higher spending on social care.
Who should pay for supporting us as we grow old and need care? That was the subject of a Government review headed by Andrew Dilnot that was published this week. The response has been almost unanimously positive, and in some areas, quite rightly.
