While the government’s plans for #NHS reform are welcome, to be successful reform needs to be led locally not centrally. @chrisham.bsky.social explains why in his new blog 👇

Notable that the final keynote at social care’s big annual event #NCASC24 is @sallywarren.bsky.social talking about the 10 Year Health Plan. Reminder that health reform is happening while social care reform is not, yet.

Strong indication from minister Kinnock that govt is trying to find “the right mechanism” to achieve cross-party consensus on #socialcare reform but emphasises this is not kicking the can down the road #ncasc24

Stephen Kinnock Care Minister says “weaponisation of care has to stop” but he is seeing cross party conversations starting. Believes reform can only be done with cross-party support. “Change won’t be overnight”. #NCASC24

This looks like minister Kinnock’s ‘big’ announcement in his speech to #ncasc24 this afternoon. £22 million. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Sense of foreboding (providers crumbling) from @vicrayner. she asks for social care to be central to policy, for pay & conditions to be improved (most workforce strategy items r modest costs except the fair pay settlement), an industrial plan for care & fairness #ncasc24

Care Provider Alliance chair @vicrayner.bsky.social says 79% of care providers think they will be unable to deliver new care requested by councils/NHS. 57% expect to hand back contracts. 64% will lay off staff & the same % expect to step back from RLW 22% providers expect to close down entirely.
