A funding model for Andy Burnham's proposed National Care Service is drawing attention. Steve Webb of consultancy LCP suggests a scheme similar to automatic pension enrolment: a 1% National Care Service levy paid by workers and pensioners over 40, with contributions going toward their own future care costs.
