Long-term Care in England

Thanks are due to Carl Emmerson and Polly Simpson for allowing us to use some of the background material from an unpublished IFS briefing paper on “Adult social care in England”.

The ELSA data used here were made available through the UK Data Archive (UKDA) and developed by a team of researchers based at University College London, the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the National Centre for Social Research with funding provided by the National Institute of Aging in the United States, and a consortium of UK government departments co-ordinated by the National Institute for Health and Care Research.
