Government launches new ten-year vision for adult social care People who need care, the social care workforce and unpaid carers will benefit from the ten-year vision for adult social care published today. The white paper is part of the Government's wider social care plans, backed by £5.4 billion, which, for the first time, provides a limit to the cost of care for everyone in the adult social care system, and significantly increases state support. The Government has set out further details on how over £1 billion for system reform will be spent over the next three years to improve the lives of those who receive care – as well as their families and carers. New Transforming Social Care campaign Transforming Social Care, a new campaign explaining the Government's plan to reform social care, features testimonies and further information about the changes to come, including how we plan to develop the social care workforce. Dig deeper into the White Paper's proposals and discover how they will benefit individuals, families and our wider communities. With or without reform, the quality, reliability and effectiveness of our adult social care system depends on a workforce that feels valued, supported and encouraged to be the best. Deborah Sturdy, Chief Nurse for Adult Social Care, explains why the reform plans are about the people delivering services as well as those receiving them. | | Engaging the sector to create a vision The desire to reform, rebuild and strengthen social care has been a longstanding ambition of successive governments and, while these objectives may be simply put, achieving them has often been anything but. The White Paper, 'People at the heart of care', seeks to overcome these challenges. Michelle Dyson, Director General for Social Care at the Department of Health and Social Care, reflects upon the wide sector engagement, involving hundreds of diverse organisations and individuals with lived experience, which helped develop this landmark document.
