Election time is well upon us with stories full of intrigue and high politics doing the rounds.
The latest is the story in The Guardian about an inheritance plan to fund social care.
Health secretary Andy Burnham today denied this but not before the Tories had got on board to stoke the flames.
interestingly in this same government press conference Burnham revealed the government still does not know which of three models to pick as a future way to fund adult social care. It outlined a partnership model, a voluntary model and a compulsory model in its green paper on adult social care reform.
How long does it need before it publishes its white paper?
