Nick Sanderson, CEO Audley Group comments: “The social care system has been left out in the cold for far too long. Promises of funding and reform have been made time and time again, but progress has been sluggish. The cancellation of the Health and Social Care Levy will throw the Prime Minister’s vocal commitments on social care into doubt, unless she can, quickly, show how she plans to achieve change. And this is what the care sector so desperately needs. Money will always be a short-term fix, reform is the long-term cure the system needs. This starts with reducing the need for care in the first place and must be where the government puts its focus.”
