The Prime Minister's decision to make adult social care reform an early priority is potentially a watershed moment for this vital but long neglected service. Accelerating the Casey Commission's work, committing to improve the terms and conditions of the social care workforce and seeking cross-party consensus reflect an ambitious commitment to tackling head-on one of the country's most pressing public service challenges.
The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy welcomes government efforts to improve the care system so everyone with a social care need can receive affordable, high-quality care that enables them to live their lives with dignity.
