Fixing social care funding must be council “priority” Charity Age Scotland is calling for serious reform of social care funding as Scotland s public sector watchdog reveals that inflation compounded by increasing demand has left councils with a growing budget

Age Scotland urges urgent reforms in social care funding. Should councils prioritize this issue to ensure better care for all? #SocialCareReform

If only Dept of Health & Social Care took this view: “… social care makes up an integral part of the government's NHS reforms and cannot be a separate process.” #SocialCareReform

Casey Commission tasked with producing plan for 'national care service' by 2026 - Community Care Government remit asks independent commission on social care to consider services for older people and disabled adults separately

Social care reform postponement is another major disappointment from #Labour. No wonder the Chair of the last Social Care Commission is demanding Govt implement existing findings act rather than just talk. @LibDems.org.uk #socialcare #socialcarereform

Profiles in Discourage Labour's punting of social care reflects a bigger problem of indecision

Unfortunately, I think Ben Ansell has hit the nail on the head of the elephant in the corner here. Nobody will thank Labour for dithering open.substack.com/pub/benansel... #socialcarereform #Lordsreform #housingreform #watercompanies #railnationalisation

National Care Service plans in pipeline for 2028, say ministers The government announces first steps to creating a National Care Service - but the final report is several years away.

The timescale set for #SocialCareReform is too long. As an ex #SocialCare guy and someone who has spent a lot of time on social care policy, a lot of this work has been done already. It is difficult & very complex but at the very least we need step change starting now - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great to be involved in the @ASCAPPG Parliamentary Coffee Morning today to discuss concerns and challenges in social care with MP’s. Thank you @helenemaguire.bsky.social and @neilduncanjordan.bsky.social for meeting up #SocialCareReform . Government need to listen to people with lived experience!

Fixing social care is urgent, says minister, after claims of impasse - BBC News Source have told the BBC there is a "genuine impasse" at the top of government over how to reform the system.

Social care reform must ensure dignity & equity so everyone can age with security. #SocialCareReform
Families shouldn’t sell homes for care.We need collective solutions now. #FixSocialCare #Equity
A National Care Service ensures no one loses their home for care.Reform starts now. #CareForAll #Reform

BBC's Mishal Husain Accuses Wes Streeting Of 'Kicking Can Down The Road' Over Social Care Reform The pair clashed when it came to the health secretary's promises to implement change in the sector.

Well done to Mishal Husain for not letting the problem of social care be brushed aside by Streeting.
Nobody’s talking about social care reform, and the sooner the health secretary gets his head out of his ass, the sooner the NHS recovers.
