We seem to pay an awful lot of tax here in GB. Now we find how underfunded our health and social care services have been. I hope a future investigation explains where this taxation income has gone.

[Phil Heslop @UNNSW]

Social work is a key social care profession. Social workers have a very important role in supporting people who need social care.

[Phil Heslop @UNNSW]

One wish - we value carers and caring, many are looking after the most vulnerable but how well are they valued - as family, friends, partners, volunteers and paid workers. Governments have made mistakes but we've accepted caring to be undervalued, under-resourced and underpaid.

[Phil Heslop @UNNSW]

We are all affected by COVID 19 but some of our most vulnerable communities and groups much more than others. Many of these rely on social care and are economically disadvantaged. I am really worried.
