“Britain faces a social care crisis as the number of elderly needing help is to hit 1.2 million, experts warn.
And the bill will soar to £18.7billion by 2040. But Tory cuts could shatter the system.
One critic said: “It is already close to collapse.”
... With stretched councils starved of cash by the Tories and the elderly living longer, the social care system in Britain is careering towards ­collapse, experts have warned.
The number of pensioners who will be looked after is to rise from 657,000 in 2015 to 1.2 million by 2040 and the bill by 159%, from £7.2billion to £18.7billion.

These pages are for employers and employees in the health and social care sectors involved in moving and handling, particularly those who assess moving and handling needs and carry out handling activities. Owing to the variety of care settings some of this guidance may be useful for people who receive care within their own home.
Moving and handling is a key part of the working day for most employees; from moving equipment, laundry, catering, supplies or waste to assisting re...sidents in moving.
Poor moving and handling practice can lead to:
* back pain and musculoskeletal disorders, which can lead to inability to work
* moving and handling accidents – which can injure both the person being moved and the employee
* discomfort and a lack of dignity for the person being moved
You must take action to prevent or minimise the risk of injury.
