“Care system is in crisis” says AgeUK briefing

Age UK have issued a briefing on the proposed White Paper on the reform of social care. As the numbers of older and disabled people increase, pressures on an already failing system will only intensify. Urgent and far-reaching reform is needed.

“The problem of care in later life will not go away and it is getting worse. Putting off the solution does not help families in England. Change must happen now”
