QE has become an integral part of monetary policy in a number of countries over the last ten years. Essentially it has been part of a strategy of cheap money brought in by central banks as a policy response the 2007-08 Global Financial Crisis amid fears of a return to deflationary depression experienced in the 1930s. Economic historians will surely debate the role of Quantitative Easing (QE) in staving off a depression for many years to come.

ILC-UK Seminar - The Private Sector's Role in Care - supported by partnershipILC- UK
The foreword to the Government’s Vision stated that they “want people to have the freedom to choose the services that are right for them from a vibrant plural market”. Of course, for this to be possible there has to be adequate funding to support the development of a care market.
This seminar explored the role of the private sector in paying for care. We explored the different options for private sector engagement in care funding in the future. We considered how these models of engagement can be best made to work and consider what Government needs to do to facilitate. We explored the role of insurance and of equity release.
Les Mayhew presented his paper on the “Role of Private Finance in Paying for Long Term Care”. Chris Horlick from Partnership Assurance highlighted current and potential innovations in insurance. Andrea Rozario from Safe Home Income Plans (SHIP) explored issues relating to asset decumulation while Nick Starling from the ABI contributed with his comments on the role insurers play in care planning and Martin Green of the English Community Care Association (ECCA) responded from the perspective of a private sector care provider.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

This significant growth can be attributed to various factors, including collaborations and partnerships among leading companies, the expansion of diagnostic chains, and increasing accessibility to diagnostic services across the country. This comprehensive report delves into the market dynamics, recent trends, drivers, competitive landscape, and benefits of the research report, providing a detailed analysis of the India Diagnostic Labs Market.
Collaborations and Partnerships
Collaborations and partnerships among leading companies play a pivotal role in driving the growth of the India Diagnostic Labs Market.

2. 1948
Hospitals were given to the NHS. What we now call social care was left with local authorities.
This organisational structure persists to this day.
3. 2014
People are living longer with more complex diseases that require co-ordinated health and social care.
The distinction between health care and social care is being eroded by these changing needs and new ways of meeting them.
4. For better services, spending will have to increase and become more joined up. But how could this be done and where should the money come from?
The King’s Fund set up the independent Commission on the Future of Health and Social Care in England, led by Kate Barker, to explore these issues and to come up with recommendations.
Here we present the problems the commission identified and the changes it proposes.
5. Problem 1: the system is unfair
Most health care (major and minor) is free at the point of use. Social care is heavily rationed and means tested.
This leads to situations where people with dementia have to pay for their own care while people with cancer don’t. Both cases involve significant care needs but they get very different levels of assistance from the state. There is not equal treatment of equal needs.
6. Problem 2: the funding is separate
The NHS budget is ring-fenced, comes mostly from national taxation and must be spent on health. Publicly funded social care is paid for by local authorities through a mixture of central government grant, council tax and user charges. Levels of spending vary across the country.
Deciding who pays for what is a constant source of friction which can impact on people who are caught between the two systems.
7. Problem 3: the system is not co-ordinated
The organisations that commission health and social care – 211 clinical commissioning groups for hospital care, emergency care, community care and mental health; 152 local authorities for social care; and NHS England for primary and specialist care – are not aligned.
This creates inefficiencies with financial and human costs. For example, 3,000 beds a day are occupied by people who are fit to leave but are stuck in hospital while funding or assessment is resolved.
8. The commission concluded that tinkering with the existing system is not enough to address these problems.
We need a new settlement for health and social care to meet 21st-century needs and aspirations.
What would this involve?
9. Change 1: commission health and social care together
Remove the barrier between health and social care. Have a single, ring- fenced budget and commission both together.
10. Change 2: create simpler pathways with more personal control
Design simpler pathways through the current system that respond to changing levels of need.
Use a new care and support allowance and personal budgets to give people more control over the support they receive.
11. Change 3: increase provision of ‘free’ social care
Make all social care for those with ‘critical’ needs free at the point of use.
Extend this to ‘substantial’ social care needs as the economy improves.
By 2025, provide support for ‘moderate’ needs as well.
12. These changes offer a big prize – a more integrated service, simpler pathways through it and more equal treatment of equal needs. But this has to be paid for somehow, either from the public purse or out of people’s own pockets.
This new settlement will be more efficient and achieve better outcomes for people – but it will cost more overall.
13. The hard choices: how should we pay for this?
These changes should not be paid for by new NHS charges, nor should they be funded privately or through insurance.
Instead, this increased access to social care should be paid for by public finance, and much of the cost should be borne by those who can most afford it (wealthier people) and those who will benefit from it the most (older people).
14. How can we afford it? Prescription charges
Make prescriptions much cheaper but remove most of the exemptions.
Potential saving of £1 billion
15. How can we afford it? National Insurance
Restructure National Insurance to collect more from those over 40, those over state pension age and high earners.
Potential extra revenue of £3.3 billion
16. How can we afford it? Contributions from older people
Limit Winter Fuel Payments and free TV licences to older people on low incomes.
Potential saving of £1.4 billion
17. How can we afford it? Wealth and property taxes
Review taxes on wealth and consider reforms to inheritance tax, wealth transfer tax, capital gains, property tax, etc.
18. Overall, the government should assume that public spending on health and social care will increase from 9.6% to 11–12% by 2025. The commission believes that in the long run this is affordable and sustainable.
That sounds like a lot of extra money but it’s still less than other similar countries spend on health care alone.
19. What do you think?
About the new settlement the commission is proposing?
How it could be achieved?
How it should be paid for?
