The Treasury Forecasts • Assumes more than trend rate of economic growth by 2012/13 • We will borrow at least £712 billion across next 5 years (we borrowed in total £500 billion across the last 350 years) • We have not come out of any previous recession (1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s) in this way • 1.5 million unemployed still assumed
Longer Term (13/14 – 17/18) • Structural gap in public finance opening up – 6.3% national income by 2017/ 18 • Tax rises & spending cuts (25/75 balance) will claw back 50%, remainder to be identified – “2 Parliaments of pain” • If 25/ 75 balance maintained spending will rise 1% real terms per annum maximum across next 20 years
Facing the Challenges - An Outcomes Focus…………..
An Outcomes focus – What it means • Frail and vulnerable people supported to live at home • Control and decisions with the individual • Strong, caring, supportive communities • Fairness and equity • High quality environment • Contributing to local economy
Growing old- • Not an illness; a state of being • Should we shift our focus?
Current service provision by age group 65-74 75-84 85+ 97% 88% 60%
Some further Considerations • Tenure implications – an equity stake • ‘Young until your dead’ – self image • Economically active • Politically active and influential • Best healthy life expetancy prospects • Pension provision • Older people provide far more care than they receive
