Major implications here for health and #socialcare services, not just obvious ones about service delivery but also workforce availability https://t.co/99Xfb0MLUi

Interesting graphs from @CareQualityComm #StateOfCare report. The two regions with the largest fall in #carehome beds - London and the North East - are those with the lowest % of self-funders. Coincidence? More likely that new builds are going where the money is. #socialcare

#StateOfReport

[Sally Greenbrook @SallyGreenbrook]

Solutions to adult social care too much of a political hot potato to go into election manifestos according to @kevinhollinrake and @GillianKeegan. Needs to be cross party and out of the limelight of an election. @nhsconfed #CPC19

Curious about the best way of funding social care? We've created a handy tool which puts different funding options against key tests for success ⚙️🔧> https://t.co/GPbKwzvxXw

EXCLUSIVE: Previously unseen figures reveal the extent of so-called ‘revenge evictions’ where vulnerable residents are spitefully kicked out of care homes after families raise concerns about their treatment @CCTVinCARE @SCappg @LouHaigh @GillianKeegan

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

Important and powerful speech at #TUC2019 from GMB activist Jo Pitchford (@mightycraine70) on the need for the professionalisation of social care.

Care workers are underpaid, overworked and undervalued.

We need action now 👇

[GMB Union @GMB_union]

It’s time to listen to care workers. Social care is falling apart.

Care workers are underpaid, overworked and undervalued.

Together we’re fighting for the dignity everyone in care deserves.

Important intervention from @NuffieldTrust & @TheKingsFund @HealthFdn Our Inquiry report made clear the group would support a social care sector exemption for this policy, or a new sectoral visa: https://t.co/tZqlujbryQ
