A coalition of 75 leading charities has warned of a "chronic underfunding" of social care in England, following the largest ever independent survey to be carried out into the subject.
The Care and Support Alliance says the poll has delivered a "vote of no confidence" in the system by the public.
It finds that seven out of 10 people believe they will be unable to afford care for themselves or a family member, rising to 77% among the over-60s.
Two thirds of those aged 60 and above think the Government should divert funding from other areas to social care, according to the Yougov poll of 4,500 people.
