Adult social care
The £2bn extra earmarked by the government for social care over the next three years will not be enough, says a committee of MPs.
A report from the community and local government committee finds that inadequate funding very seriously affects the quantity and quality of adult social care provision, impacting on those receiving care, the NHS, care staff, carers and providers. It urges the government to urgently review how social care is funded long-term and to address serious threats to the provision of care in England.
