Learning disability charity Hit and Care England (HFT )and Care England have released their annual Sector Pulse Check report. (14 January). It analyses the finances and workforce of adult social care.
The government’s announcement on 03 January of a new adult social care commission headed up by Baroness Louise Casey was welcomed by both organisations, but the survey findings in the report revealed a sector that cannot wait until 2028.
HFT and Care England call on the government to:
- commit to a multi-year funding settlement for adult social care in the 2025 Spending Review
- support the workforce and bring care workers’ pay and conditions in line with their NHS counterparts via a fully funded plan.
