Care England - Time is Running Out for Social Care
Care England, the largest representative body for independent providers of adult social care, has submitted evidence to the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee’s inquiry into social care funding.
Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care England says:
“Time is running out for social care. Inadequate short term injections of cash to either bail out councils as they limp from one crisis to the next, or to temporarily prop up the NHS during winter pressures do not address the deep rooted inherent problems of the current system. The sector needs to be able to plan and invest for the long term”.
The Economic Affairs Committee, chaired by Rt Hon Lord Forsyth of Drumlean, will focus its inquiry on the challenges faced by the social care system in England. The Committee is seeking to assess the effectiveness of different funding models, the shortfalls in delivery and make recommendations on how future social care demands can be met in England https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/lords-select/economic-affairs-committee/news-parliament-2017/social-care-call-for-evidence/
Martin Green continues:
“The stronger the understanding of the interdependencies of social care with the NHS, the stronger the chances of progress being made to create a sustainable care system”.
