Fabian Society report calling for national care service to be set up and changes to funding
Major reform of England’s beleaguered adult social care sector could be ushered in by the next Labour government under plans that include boosting pay for care workers, expanding the scope of free support and asking all people to contribute £50 a week towards costs.
A report by the Fabian Society thinktank, commissioned by the shadow health secretary, Wes Streeting, and the trade union Unison, sets out a roadmap for a national care service (NCS) that they hope would address the existing patchy, impersonal and inadequate state provision.
