Prime Minister Andy Burnham meets residents after he delivered a speech during a visit to a care homeAndy Burnham has said it was a “major dereliction of public duty” that politicians had failed for decades to resolve the crisis in social care. During his speech, the Prime Minister:– Said he had accelerated Baroness Louise Casey’s review of social care so it will report next year. – Promised reforms to improve the “strength and the capability” of the social care workforce. Mr Burnham said the savings to the NHS from fixing issues around social care could help fund a reformed system. But he acknowledged that “some of what we want to do in the fuller sense will require difficult, difficult decisions” and “we will be honest with people about those”.
