PoliticsWhat is Andy Burnham’s plan to ‘fix’ social care?

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has proposed a major overhaul of England’s existing social care system. His three-point plan is being accompanied by a review led by Baroness Casey, while the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have been asked to cooperate on the reforms. The proposal raises questions about what a “National Care Service” would involve. It also confronts the failure of 22 earlier reviews of adult social care to produce change, as well as the challenge of paying for the plan.
