Oh good, an independent commission on reforming adult social care.

They always work.

Bit of a shame it’s not Royal, mind. They are failsafe. https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20131205101144/http:/www.archive.official-documents.co.uk/document/cm41/4192/4192.htm

I’d look to Richard Humphries and David Brindle for really well-informed further comment.

I’ll only observe that as choices for a New Year public policy reset go, announcing yet a commission on social care is the political equivalent of dancing about architecture.

It delays any action by 3 years + which I am sure is the point. Thus allowing time for the treasury to find non-existent extra money after its period of efficiency savings (which also always work)

Efficiency savings: the Surrey Panther of public policy!
