London Councils is the latest organisation to slam the current adult social care system, claiming it is ‘overly complicated and financially unsustainable'. A survey by the lobbying organisation echoed recent findings of the Institute for Public Policy Research, which found most families did not want to take on greater responsibility for paying and caring for relatives in old age. London Councils uncovered widespread uncertainty among Londoners about how the social care system worked, and a lack of planning for their own future care needs.
