Politicians from all parties in the UK have agreed that they need to work together to find a way to save the failing social care system in England. Ministers are looking to publish plans for social care reform in the spring.
Research has shown that out of 2 million people that need care 800.000 of them are not getting any health care. The system needs a radical re-think based on hospitalisation and homecare. The current system shows that people are being left lonely, isolated and at risk because of the problems with the current system. The question is what will the government do now and will they come up with a quick solution?
My opinion:
I think it is very bad to see that 800.000 out of 2 million people are not getting any health care when they really need it. This can cause many lifes being at risk. It is up to the UK government to make a quick, responsible and logical decision which must be very hard to make because different people have different meanings all across England. At the moment people are assessed on needs and means. It might be worthful to re-think this system or take a closer look at it and see if it is possible to make some adjustments.
