Read the original article on telegraph.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Telegraph reports Baroness Casey's warning that successive governments have been "asleep at the wheel" over adult social care in England, and attributes her words and her team's interim findings to her throughout the body. It gives the 40 per cent fee gap with its base and comparison, and states the means-test thresholds that decide who pays for their own care.
“Baroness Casey of Blackstock has accused successive governments of being “asleep at the wheel” over adult social care”
The opening names who made the charge and quotes her exactly, so the reader knows it is her judgement and not the paper's.
“on average, 40 per cent more than those receiving the same service arranged by their council”
The article gives the figure with its base and comparison, an average against council-arranged care for the same service, so the number does not mislead.
“People with assets worth less than £14,250 generally qualify for state support, while those with more than £23,250 must pay for their own care”
The article gives the concrete means-test thresholds, so readers can see who pays for their own care.
