A debate on adult social care reform hosted by the Local Government Association (LGA) has posed a familiar question: who will pay for it?

The Smith Square debate is part of a series of events being held in tandem with the work of the Casey Commission. The discussion was led by a panel including former Labour health secretary Patricia Hewitt, chair of the Social Care Foundation and former Conservative first secretary of state Damian Green, senior policy adviser at The Health Foundation Richard Humphries, and associate director of Think Local Act Personal Dr Clenton Farquharson.
