“…A further consequence of the Act has been the requirement that each strategic health authority introduce a new set of eligibility criteria for continuing health care (Dow, 2003) which, as clearly demonstrated above, make it very difficult to get away from separate assessments for health and social care.…”

In this paper, we draw on ethnographic research which tracked older people's journeys through the health and social care system, highlighting some of the key issues which will need to be addressed if the new single assessment process is to become user‐ and carer‐friendly. We argue that the concept of the ‘whole system’ is a misnomer, and a more accurate picture is that of a world at war, with territorial disputes rife and border controls tighter than ever. We suggest that too much emphasis has been placed on IT systems and paperwork and that the real challenge is to cut through the jargon of modernisation and to see things from a wholly different perspective.

“…In 2005, 22,000 people (some 14 per cent of all nursing home residents) had their costs fully funded by the NHS under this 'continuing care' provision (Laing and Buisson, 2005). Decisions on eligibility are made by local NHS organisations (Dow, 2003), although national guidelines are promised (DoH, 2006).…”

This paper argues for a transformation of arrangements for accessing and allocating public resources for long-term care in the UK. Currently these arrangements are fragmented, inequitable and not always well targeted. While not necessarily advocating a social insurance approach, the experience of Germany nevertheless shows how simplicity, transparency and equity of access can be combined with strong cost control levers and political sustainability. An opportunity to transform ways of accessing and distributing public resources for long-term care arises with the piloting of ‘individual budgets’ in 13 English local authorities from 2006. The paper argues that the principles underpinning individual budgets should be extended, with the UK government taking a strong national lead.
