<p>The Government will work to address the challenges of social care for our ageing
population, bringing forward proposals for consultation to build widespread support.
We are committed to listening to people’s views on how to reform the social care system,
to ensure it is sustainable for current and future generations and that the quality
of care improves.</p><p> </p><p>Ageing and care issues span a number of areas for
which different Departments have policy responsibility, which is why the Cabinet Office
will continue to coordinate this work through its next phase, working closely with
HM Treasury and the Departments of Health, Communities and Local Government, Work
and Pensions, and Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.</p><p> </p><p>We will
consult on options which will include a capital floor and an absolute limit on the
amount people who can be asked to pay, and are keen to hear different views on the
cap, both its level and design.</p><p> </p><p>We will provide further details on the
next steps on social care in due course.</p>
