Commenting on the Care and Support Bill announced in Queen’s speech, Steve Gay, Director of Life, Savings and Protection at the ABI said:
“We hope the Government will stay firmly resolved on tackling the social care funding crisis. Whilst we are pleased to see the draft Care and Support Bill addressing the quality of care, it’s very important that funding reform retains Government focus and is not kicked into the long grass.“The ABI backs proposals in the Dilnot report to cap the amount people pay for care, extend the means-tested limit and introduce a national framework for social care funding. The insurance industry is ready to work with the Government to develop a sustainable solution to this major challenge facing society.”

Our members are already well advanced in their preparations for Solvency II but the concern for insurers, particularly those who want to use an internal model, is that this leaves them very little room for manoeuvre.”
