Amongst the comprehensive coverage afforded the publication of the Dilnot report by the BBC this morning was the throwaway comment by Evan Davies on Today that in Scotland, the issue of social care costs for the elderly is sorted, as “the taxpayer pays”. Really? Which taxpayer, Evan? The suggestion made by Davies is that Scotland covers all of its costs in this area which is fundamentally untrue. I know the BBC drools at the every manifestation of the SNP but I would have thought Davies might try to at least get the basic economics right and the simple truth is that the ENGLISH taxpayer is underwriting Scottish social care costs for the elderly.
