Liz calls for social care reform on BBC Radio 4 Today

I spoke to BBC Radio 4 Today about the urgent need for social care reform a year on from the start of the first lockdown. More than 31,000 care home residents have died from Covid-19 so far. This is a much higher proportion than in many other countries. As we look to build a better future for our country, we must address the flaws in the social care system and give social care the same level of priority as the NHS.
