Report of the Commission on Funding of Care and Support published

I welcome this report.  It is comprehensive, accurate and well researched.  The current system of paying for and providing care is broken and urgently needs fixing.  Andrew Dilnot and his team have met with many people over the past year and I was pleased to make representations to him myself.

It is essential that all politicians from all parties and both Houses roll up their sleeves in working through the recommendations of the report to find a solution that will last for many years to come.  The last Government kicked previous reports and their recommendations into the long grass or filed them in the ‘too difficult to do’ box.  This Parliament must be different – be brave and deliver a solution for this and future generations of adults who need care and support.
