Sir Andrew William Dilnot, CBE (born 19 June 1960) is a British economist and broadcaster.

[citation needed] He studied Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at St John's College, Oxford.

In June 2010, Dilnot was asked by the government to chair the Commission on Funding of Care and Support.

The commission's primary recommendation was to limit individuals' contribution to social care costs to £35,000, after which the state would pay.

The commission's report was welcomed by Health Secretary Andrew Lansley, and both David Cameron and Ed Miliband called for cross-party talks on the issue.
