  • Sir Keir Starmer must have the political courage to make a decision on funding for social care reform, an expert said, branding it "completely unnecessary" for the Government to wait three years for more recommendations.

The article discusses the urgent need for social care reform in the UK, as highlighted by Andrew Dilnot, who led a significant review on the topic in 2011. Dilnot emphasizes that the necessity for reform is "bleedin' obvious" due to the increasing strain on the system from an aging population and rising costs. He criticizes the government for not having a clear plan, despite previous promises, and urges that a comprehensive strategy must be announced in 2025. The article points out the government's failure to implement promised reforms, including a cap on care costs, which has left many families in financial distress. Dilnot calls for a system that provides certainty and fairness, ensuring that people are not impoverished by care costs, and stresses the importance of addressing this issue promptly to prevent further deterioration of the social care system.
