Nothing to do in social care is unsustainable, warn MPs

An failure to fix the social supply system in England costs the country in financial and human conditions and warned.

Nothing to reform the social care of older and disabled adults is an “active” and “unsustainable” decision, as can be seen from a report by the Select Committee for Health and Social Care.

It is said that consecutive governments have placed too much emphasis on the cost of reforming the system, and future plans will be doomed to fail, unless the government understands and measures the “costs of inactivity”.

The government, which has set up an independent commission that has just started work, said that it had set up “up to date” but admitted, but admitted that there was “much more to do”.

“Taxpayers currently pay £ 32 billion a year for a broken system” that are supported by contributions by unpaid carers “corresponds to a second NHS,” the report says.

The committee found that social care consumes an increasing proportion of the council budget budgets and overcrowded expenses for other services.

It added that social care is an integral part of the government’s NHS reforms and cannot be a separate process.

In addition to improving the quality of the supply of the needy, the report found that investments in the system could also help promote economic growth.

The report states that an additional £ 1 billion, which was spent on social care, would create 50,000 jobs all over the country and that each invested £ 1 would achieve a return of 1.75 GBP into the broader economy.

The committee also emphasized a lack of available data in the system and asked the government to publish annual ratings of the level of uncovered care needs for adults, as well as annual estimates of how much delayed discharges cost the NHS.

His report comes as an independent commission for the social care of adults under the chairman of Baroness Louise Casey begins his work. His first report will be due next year with a final report in 2028.

The government said it was grateful for the work of the committee and would officially react in due course.

“This government has had social care far from inactivity,” said Stephen Kinnock, Minister of State for the care.

“A lot was done, but we know that there is so much more to do and that a deep reform is required,” he said.
