Village defends the proposed opportunity to reform adult social care
Secretary Health Benedict Streeting He defended the plan of the time to reform social care.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today program he confirms there will be action in this parliament. He said “successive governments from Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the SNP have all failed on social care.”
He continues:
If anyone can help us break the cycle of bad politics, knock heads together and build the national consensus we think we need for social justice, it’s Louise Casey.
And this work will begin in April. This will be reported at the beginning of next year. And I hope that within three years they will build this consensus, which is needed to build a national effort that is fit for the challenges for older and disabled people in the 21st century.
Streeting continued to say that the government is clear “it is not part of the Casey commission reporting in 2028.”
He would “indicate what we should do in this parliament to lay the foundations for a national healthcare service”. So there will be a lot going on in this parliament.
He also defended the government’s record on social care, investing in adapting people’s homes to give people with disabilities greater independence, and increasing car allowance.

Healthy minister: Elon Musk should focus on problems across the Atlantic.
Health Minister Andrew Gwynne told LBC that Elon Musk “perhaps he should focus on issues on the other side of the Atlantic” after the billionaire tech becomes another focus in British politics.
After Musk spent the night on social media demanding that parliament be dissolved and a general election be called, he then made some comments about grooming in the UK Gwynne told the audience;
Elon Musk is an American citizen and should probably focus on issues across the Atlantic.
But behold, the cause of the problem is very serious. We’ve already had an inquiry in Telford, in Rotherham, we’ve had a local inquiry by Andy Burnham, the mayor of Manchester, into the matter that includes here in Greater Manchester, which includes Oldham.
We had a national sexual abuse inquiry in 2022, which the government is considering very seriously, a long-term plan of recommendations that have been made.
There has come a point where we don’t need more research, and if Elon Musk really paid attention to what was going on in this country, he would know that there is already research.
Justice for the victims is what we need, and we will work to bring the criminal justice system to justice and make sure these atrocities never happen again.
Davey: Lib Dems ‘ready and willing’ ideas to allow adult care
Because of the announcer an independent commission on adult social care policies, Popular Liberal prince Ed Davey he indicated his willingness to cooperate on a cross-border basis, although he cast some doubt on the extent to which the government really believes it should be heard.
In a statement Davey said;
This announcement is long overdue. 2025 must be the year our politicians finally rise to the challenge of fixing care – reforming social care and supporting family carers properly too.
This social care review needs to be part of the cross if it is to be believed that the test of time and help will save our NHS, so it is disappointing that the government has failed to even consult on its own release. The measures to fix the immediate social care crisis left by the Conservatives lack ambition, we need to tackle the chronic shortage of trained care workers.
As a carer most of my life, I know how important it is to see the links between family care, social care and our NHS.
The Liberal Democrats have long campaigned for a commitment to cross-border care, so we are certainly ready and eager to bring our ideas to this committee and ensure that the voices of family car owners are heard throughout the process. The government must now convince the people that they are truly prepared to listen.
First of all the scribes of salvation Benedict Streeting he said He is talking about a cross-party committee next month.
Our health editor is staying overnight Andrew Gregory Analysis of Labor’s announcement on adult social care, describing it as “the biggest challenge yet for Lewis Casey”. He writes:
The sector has been in crisis for decades. While the NHS, which has great problems of its kind, typically returns the captured titles and funds to the treasury, the ever-growing social concern has been neglected.
A popular analysis of leading ministers in the province last year warned of high labor costs, wage rates and councils struggling to balance their books. its overall sustainability was threatened.
A collapse in social care provision would leave the needy without care, increase care in cars for families and put pressure on the NHS, said Care England and the Homecare Association.
Politicians and politicians criticize the fact that the crisis is uncertain. While most voters have little to complain about when ministers propose extra funding for hospitals, suggestions for new ways of organizing adult social care – as in “tax mercy” – we often end up with disputes and tears.

Streeting says that football speaks of hope for a cross-party over grown-up social concern
Wes Streeting, speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today program, said he was optimistic about cross-party talks about the government’s plans for adult social care.
said the audience;
It is said that the second part of the month we will have the cross. And I was really encouraged that after the election, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the Reform Party all said they wanted to work cross-party on this.
We will work on a paid commission. We will work in committee, and I hope that when the committee announces the next general election, we can all agree on a long-term direction for social care.
He previously said that plans to reform adult social care were disrupted when the people asking for them – he cited Gordon Brown and Theresa May – were turned around after the election, which is, Streeting said, “because of the way in which bad politics has come across as a real attempt to tackle this crisis.”
Challenged by presenter Nick Robinson that it would not be necessary to get Labor agreement with the majority, and that they would simply announce their plans and laws for them, Streeting disagreed. he said;
We believe even more strongly today that we need to establish a truly cross-departmental agreement in the same way that the Labor government established the NHS after 1948. A national consensus about what the national service should be and how it should be organized.
He continues:
One of the great ambassadors of that 1945 Labor government is that, although the Tories voted against the creation of the NHS 22 times, speaking more broadly, we had different cases and differences and our differences and certainly different under different governments, but broadly. In other words, the NHS should be run along the same train lines that it used in 1948 as a free public service.
Benedict Streeting Overnight he went to the Guardian to give his views on the new Labor Government’s proposed reform of social care. The secretary wrote a greeting:
By 2050, there will be 4 million more people aged 65+ in England than today. If we do nothing, there are real social care costs almost double the expected from 2018, compared with the 2018 numbers. More people will be left without care and in need, the burdens on the safety of our NHs will be overwhelmed. We cannot afford to pay a heavier and heavier price for failure. Our NHS cannot afford to sustain a heavier burden. We cannot act.
of labor took a lot of flak in the general election campaign to explain our plans for the National Care Service in more detail. I’ve been honest about why – general election campaigns are where social welfare policies go to die.
In the past 15 years, there have been many good ideas for this crisis, but a lack of good politics. This government is committed to doing business in a different way. Today we are announcing the Independent Commission on Building the National Defense Service. The commission will publish its interim report next year and conclude at the end of the parliament. Previous reviews of various aspects of social care, including the work of Andrew Dilnot on the costs of feeding the commission. It’s fair to say you don’t have to start from scratch.
