@LaylaMoran @CommonsHealth Thank you for attending @LaylaMoran and delivering such an impactful keynote speach. You and the @CommonsHealth are showing great leadership in supporting social care.

The social care sector is indispensable to the UK economy.

Every £100 spent on social care reduces NHS spending by £35.

The sector contributes around £68.1bn annually to the economy.

Every £1 invested in social care brings £2.36 in socioeconomic benefits.

📉 Last year's #SectorPulseCheck research highlighted that the #SocialCare sector is in an increasingly precarious position; leaving some of the most vulnerable in society at risk of not being able to access the support they need.

‘Plans for plans’ and red herrings: how the two main parties will try to avoid talking #socialcare during the election campaign - and what we can do about it. https://t.co/8VFEZw8oVW

[Steve Veevers @stephenveevers]

@blimeysimon Thank you Simon for a great piece. Another thing is building momentum. I’m telling every person I know to ask each and every prospective candidate they come across, whatever colour they are, to ask about social care. If enough people ask it can be an election topic.

👀 When we launched our long-term strategy and fresh new look yesterday, you may have spotted our new strap line: 'Learning disability allies'

🤔 But what is an 'ally'?

[Learning Disability Today @LDTonline]

News. The learning disability charity @Hftonline has set out a new long-term strategy to ensure adults with learning disabilities are not forgotten or ‘shut out’ from society.

@blimeysimon @skillsforcare The question on who pays is an interesting one @blimeysimon as NLW increase from last year is 9.8%, the gov settlement for LA’s was about 7.5% and at the moment, for my organisation which contracts with 114 LA’s and ICB’s is being offered just over 4.5% uplift. Some offering 0%!

[Mencap @mencap_charity]

Today's Budget completely ignores our broken social care system that is leaving hundreds of thousands of people, including many with a learning disability, struggling without the care they need.
