Cabinet minister Louise Haigh emphasizes the urgency of reforming England’s social care system amid reports of a governmental impasse. Despite steps taken to improve pay and tackle vacancies, details on Labour’s proposed National Care Service remain unclear. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey advocates for cross-party discussions and immediate measures. Key government officials are slated to meet soon to address the longstanding issues plaguing social care, with calls for improving workforce conditions and employing a Fair Pay Agreement.
