The new government must take concrete steps to address the social care crisis by:
- Making sure everyone is able to get the care they need
- Provide secure, long-term funding so everyone is cared for properly
Why is this important?
The Conservative Party manifesto was shockingly empty of ideas to make sure people will be supported and cared for in old age. It's because they don't want to take on such a complicated task of fixing social care - but they must.
At the moment elderly people, kids, and other adults who need support aren't getting the help they need to get dressed, wash or eat their lunch.
The new government cannot shirk their responsibility. They must take concrete action now to overhaul how social care works, so we can all live out our days with dignity.
