An interesting read - to keep in mind when reflecting on the new NHS ten-year plan.
28 Jul 2025
The latest ADASS Spring Survey is out and it’s clear adult social care is under real pressure.
Budgets are tight. Demand is rising. Unpaid carers are stretched.
But it also identified opportunity, especially around Technology Enabled Care (TEC).
🔹 89% of Directors say more funding for preventative tech would make the biggest difference
🔹 Confidence in emerging tech is still low
🔹 Investment in tech is down compared to last year
With the right backing, councils can lead the shift from hospital to community, treatment to prevention, and analogue to digital.

The Committee has drawn on evidence submitted by @CentreForCare and @MPetrillo25 in their report to warn the Government it will not achieve its ambitions to support more people into work without a functioning social care system.

The social care system in England is broken.
We're calling on Government to measure the cost of inaction on reforming the current system and see the sector's wider potential.

"Social care reform is urgent. We need funding to tide over the current system, a proper public and political debate, and tangible action—but in a much tighter timeframe than currently suggested."

Simon Bottery’s written a useful summary of the Darzi report
12 Sep 2024
While the focus of the Darzi report is on the NHS it does have a few, largely helpful, lines on #socialcare which, it says ‘has not been valued or resourced sufficiently, which has both a profound human cost and economic consequences.’ Very short thread. theguardian.com/society/2024…

1/ 🧵 I’m proud to publish our report on how migrant care workers are being trapped in exploitative jobs by their visa. We’re adding our voice - and evidence from more than 150 cases - to the chorus of people calling out this injustice. t.ly/Z4-sK

1. ‘Banning’ in this case simply means stopping one part of a scheme the government itself initiated barely two years ago.
2. This has nothing whatsoever to do with ‘stopping the boats’: ‘careworkers’ are arriving legally at the government’s invitation. #socialcare

Today in Parliament we have laid an order to ban overseas care workers from bringing dependants.
This is just one part of our plan to deliver the biggest-ever cut in migration 👇
