Exclusive: long-awaited white paper provides no new funding to help with care providers’ immediate problems
Ministers are risking a fresh backlash over social care by unveiling long awaited proposals that will offer no new funding to help crisis-hit care providers through winter, the Guardian understands.
The care minister, Gillian Keegan, is expected to unveil the white paper to parliament on Wednesday in what has been billed as a key part of delivering on Boris Johnson’s 2019 promise to “fix the crisis in social care once and for all”.
