Early start this morning to discuss our report published today on Reforming adult social care. We conclude that government has a long way to go and some significant risks to manage if it is to successfully deliver its reform ambitions.
10 Nov 2023
Two years into its ten-year plan to improve adult social care, government faces numerous challenges, ranging from spending to delivery.
It has scaled back the short-term ambitions set out in its December 2021 White Paper.

See our report out today on Active Travel in which we assess progress made against objectives for active travel and tackling barriers to uptake
7 Jun 2023
The government has clear targets for increasing active travel - that is, walking 🚶♀️, cycling 🚴♀️ or travelling in a wheelchair 👨🦽
But our latest report finds that these targets are likely to be missed.

A lack of audit evidence & shortcomings in financial control & governance meant @GarethDaviesNAO was unable to provide an audit opinion on @UKHSA accounts. For this & other reasons, he also issued a qualified audit opinion on 2021-22 @DHSCgovuk accounts: orlo.uk/JVCMI
ALT Text: Quote from Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General: “It is unacceptable that UKHSA has not been able to produce auditable accounts and provide the transparency and assurance Parliament needs. When setting up new bodies, it is essential basic governance arrangements are put in place."

A lack of evaluation means that @luhc has a limited understanding of what has worked well in its previous policies to promote local economic growth.
This has wasted opportunities to learn from them to inform future policy.
