Liberal Democrats Old Age Care Pledge

Liberal Democrats Old Age Care Pledge
Liberal Democrats have made a £2bn pledge for old age care.
As part of proposals to reform the NHS, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has outlined a £2bn care guarantee plan for the elderly. The plan guarantees elderly people a payment to cover the majority of their care costs. Individuals are then encouraged to top up their care package by making private contributions, which would be matched by the state up to a maximum benchmark.
Our view
Liberal Democrats will not win an election. Therefore, the promise for better care fees funding is a hollow one.
