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.
