  This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the AFCO Committee, examines the potential effects of the UK’s withdrawal on European integration. It does so by examining the UK’s role in pushing forward and/or blocking integration in five areas: the internal market; social policy; freedom, security and justice; the Eurozone; and foreign, security and defence.

  In most countries, LTC for the elderly is not a distinct social policy field. LTC provisions in many countries are indeed characterised by a fragmentation of responsibilities and consequently a lack of integration between health and social aspects of LTC provision. LTC is typically funded from different sources and organised at different – horizontal and vertical – levels. The health system is responsible for the care provided by health professionals, while services related to supporting the care-dependent person in the activities of daily life are usually organised by the social sector. Only some countries organise their system in a way which integrates health and social care horizontally (e.g. DK, IE, PT). In most countries, this horizontal split between the health and social sectors is accompanied by a vertical division of responsibilities, with powers attributed at different institutional levels: national, regional and local (e.g. AT, BE, BG, CH, CY, CZ, DE, EE, EL, ES, FR, HR, HU, IT, LI, LT, LV, MK, NO, PL, RO, SI, UK).
