This morning, we welcomed Sir Andrew Dilnot, Damian Green & Dr Anna Severwright who joined @swoolnoughtkf.bsky.social & @blimeysimon.bsky.social at today’s social care event. We discussed the need to prioritise adult social care, the issues & opportunities for reform. #KFSocialCareReform
Re #socialcare commissioning… think the NHS should focus on getting its own house in order which is very far from perfect rather yet again trying to empire build! #KFSocialCareReform
@blimeysimon.bsky.social spot on about talking about the value of social care instead of its cost .. use of citizens assemblies perchance lessons from the Wigan Deal! #KFSocialCareReform
Damian Green also spot on about lack of political salience bedevilling social care .. like emergency preparedness #KFSocialCareReform
Damian Green also spot on about DHSC simply not prioritising social care and HMT being systematically hostile to social care reform #KFSocialCareReform
Very good panel on #socialcare @thekingsfund.bsky.social … Andrew Dilnot making total sense as always. I’m firmly of the view that we really shouldn’t need yet another 3 year commission. Andrew spot on with the challenges inertia, fear & lack of political will! #KFSocialCareReform
