An interesting read - to keep in mind when reflecting on the new NHS ten-year plan.

[Digital Care Hub @DigitalCareHub]

The latest ADASS Spring Survey is out and it’s clear adult social care is under real pressure.

Budgets are tight. Demand is rising. Unpaid carers are stretched.

But it also identified opportunity, especially around Technology Enabled Care (TEC).

🔹 89% of Directors say more funding for preventative tech would make the biggest difference
🔹 Confidence in emerging tech is still low
🔹 Investment in tech is down compared to last year

With the right backing, councils can lead the shift from hospital to community, treatment to prevention, and analogue to digital.

@BBCPM @EvanHD @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds So many layers to this issue, not just having a degree or not. For example, one of your interviewees switched from a ‘feminised’ job in the NHS to a male dominated job in manufacturing and now earns much more and feels less stressed…

The Committee has drawn on evidence submitted by @CentreForCare and @MPetrillo25 in their report to warn the Government it will not achieve its ambitions to support more people into work without a functioning social care system.

[Health and Social Care Committee @CommonsHealth]

The social care system in England is broken.

We're calling on Government to measure the cost of inaction on reforming the current system and see the sector's wider potential.

'For the Labour Government, developing a National Care Service in England should be built on a clear rationale demonstrating how the changes lead to better outcomes.'

"Social care reform is urgent. We need funding to tide over the current system, a proper public and political debate, and tangible action—but in a much tighter timeframe than currently suggested."

@blimeysimon In the meantime, what stops them from picking up the ASC workforce strategy?

[Erika Kispeter @ErikaKispeter]

Simon Bottery’s written a useful summary of the Darzi report

[Simon Bottery @blimeysimon]

While the focus of the Darzi report is on the NHS it does have a few, largely helpful, lines on #socialcare which, it says ‘has not been valued or resourced sufficiently, which has both a profound human cost and economic consequences.’ Very short thread. https://t.co/FPuicscD3S
