Social care is integral to our healthcare system, it strengthens communities, offers employment and volunteering opportunities, contributes to the economy and is vital for millions of people.
But services will cease to exist without proper funding.
We must #ValueSocialCare.

Great @SchoolsWeek report on current fears for NHS special schools eye care service.
We're glad @SKinnock recognises the potential.
This will only be fulfilled by maintaining the existing model and funding to provide ongoing care & glasses support

Proud to be a signatory of @SeeAbility's letter calling on Minister of State for Care @SKinnock to ensure children & young people with learning disabilities get the quality and continuity of eye care services they need and for it to be sustainably funded

We already know most of the answers but, due to the Autumn budget, the critical funding question will need an answer long before 2028. https://t.co/bDASHWozLr
Just last month we were delighted to host Minister @SKinnock to see our eye care work in action delivering some of the big shifts in NHS care.

More evidence from @CPA_SocialCare that the impact of #Budget2024 on frontline services will be detrimental to the care and support thousands rely on, unless @hmtreasury guarantee funding to cover the full costs of national insurance and wage increases:
