This paper presents updated projections prepared for the Department of Health and the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) of demand for long-term care for older people and younger adults in England to 2035 and associated future expenditure. The projections were produced using updated versions of the Personal Social Services Research Unit’s (PSSRU) aggregate long-term care projections models. The projections cover publicly funded social care for older people and younger adults and for older people only privately funded social care.
