On Wednesday 25th April, I spoke in Labour’s opposition debate on social care.

The Government’s funding cuts to local authorities mean hundreds of thousands of fewer people are now getting the publically-funded social care they need, while family carers are being put under unsustainable pressure. The Government should listen to the calls of the 103 MPs who have called for a parliamentary commission to find a long-term plan for the NHS and social care; and Ministers need to consider the ten principles for long-term funding that I have published with MPs Norman Lamb and Nick Boles.
