✍️ Cross-party MPs warn that England's social care system is costing the country financially and humanly due to a lack of reform, and that the government needs to understand the cost of inaction.
👉 The social care system is consuming an increasing proportion of councils' budgets, crowding out spending on other services.
👉 Investment in the system could help drive economic growth, with every £1 invested generating a £1.75 return to the wider economy.
👉 The government needs to understand and measure the cost of inaction to make informed decisions about reform.
👉 The committee is calling for the government to publish annual assessments of unmet care needs and delayed discharges.
