The UK Government has announced an independent commission into adult social care.
The Commission will be chaired by Baroness Louise Casey and will aim to inform Government about the work needed to deliver a National Care Service.
The Department for Health and Social Care say of the Commission:
“Split over 2 phases, the commission will set out a vision for adult social care, with recommended measures and a roadmap for delivery.
The first phase, reporting in 2026, will identify the critical issues facing adult social care and set out recommendations for effective reform and improvement in the medium term.
The second phase, reporting by 2028, will make longer-term recommendations for the transformation of adult social care. It will build on the commission’s first phase to look at the model of care needed to address our ageing population, how services should be organised to deliver this, and how to best create a fair and affordable adult social care system for all.”
