Make the NHS and social care one system.
Bring in a new system of NHS and Social Care combined, paid for by taxes. Some social care costs to be paid for those who can easily afford it.
Why is this important?
Covid-19 has shown the problems we have with our social care system as it is. A country can be judged by how it treats it's older population. Not only is social care often inadequate, but many are staying in hospital blocking beds as there is not the support available in the community.
