The Social Care Funding proposals - what do they mean?

So the Government Green Paper on adult social care funding is now published, essentially giving three options for future funding.  This now opens a debate which will continue until 13 November, then a white paper establishing what is actually going to change will be published in 2010.

There has rightly been a fair amount of press coverage and analysis as well as bloggers comments - we have sifted through all of these to bring you the best and most informative of these articles and opinions:
