As a society we must ensure the care and support we will all need at some point in our lives is available to everyone. Unfortunately, that is not happening right now.

We must be honest and recognise the current way of doing things is not sustainable. Reacting to cases, rather than preventing them in the first place, has become the norm. That is not to say doctors, nurses, carers, social workers and practitioners do not go above and beyond – there is simply not enough joined up support for them to carry on delivering quality yet affordable care.
