Campaigners criticise plans over capping care bills
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced plans to cap bills for long-term care in old age at £75,000 in England, in a £1 billion move to be funded by dragging more people into the inheritance tax net.
Campaigners voiced disappointment at the level of the cap - more than double the £35,000 recommended by the independent Dilnot Commission in 2011.
