Putting social care on a sustainable footing is one of the biggest long-term challenges facing society.
The UK needs a long-term solution that will stand the test of time, and so we are committed to an ambitious three-point plan:
The Government needs to modernise the Mental Health Act to ensure people have greater control over their treatment and receive the dignity and respect they deserve.
People subject to the Act will receive better care and have a much greater say in that care.
Summary: We’ll create 50 million more appointments in GP surgeries and have 6,000 more doctors and 6,000 extra pharmacist, physios and other primary care staff by 2024-25.
When people voted in the EU referendum, they voted for a better future for this country. But years of delay and indecision by politicians means the change they hoped for hasn’t yet been delivered.
