Social care for older people is a non-core welfare programme financed by a secondary area of the English state that has suffered significant reductions in spending over the past decade. Policymakers recognise that social care has a structural funding problem and there is a broad consensus that an alternative sustainable funding approach is needed to deliver appropriate and equitable levels of social care provision, but policymakers have consistently failed to reform how social care is financed. This thesis explores why implementing meaningful funding reform has proved to be so difficult and suggests possible paths to more sustainable care funding.
