PROJECT SUMMARY Wanless Social Care Review The main report of the Wanless Social Care Review, funded by the King’s Fund, was published in March 2006. The Review was undertaken by a project team of economists and social care specialists based at the King’s Fund in collaboration with the PSSRU at the London School of Economics. The LSE team included Julien Forder, José-Luis Fernández, Francesco Moscone with inputs from Adelina Comas and Juliette Malley. The Review made recommendations about the service model to be used in the future. It also recommended the adoption of a partnership model of funding. Work is now being undertaken to refine these recommendations and to develop practical deliverables. In particular, the micro-simulation model developed by the Review is being extended to cover a range of specifications of the partnership model, to produce future projections, and to incorporate difference service and commissioning models. The outputs of this work include estimates of the funding required for social care, practical configurations of the arrangements for funding care (including the partnership model), and guidance about commissioning.
