Charities criticise new plans, described as a ‘shadow of the reform needed’ with the care system ‘on the precipice’
Charities have criticised an announcement that funding promised for the social care workforce in England is to be halved, with one calling the move “an insult”.
In a white paper on adult social care reform published in December 2021, ministers pledged to invest “at least £500m over the next three years to begin to transform the way we support the social care workforce”.
