Andy Burnham announced a vision for free social care services available to everyone in England, stating these plans would be presented to voters at the next general election.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The current adult social care system in England is described as a complex patchwork involving means-testing and local authority decisions. Under the current rules, individuals with savings exceeding £23,250 are not entitled to council help with care costs. The proposed reforms include an accelerated programme and a national 'Big Conversation on Care' led by Baroness Louise Casey.

Andy Burnham has been discussing major policy shifts aimed at easing the current cost of living crisis, with a focus on housing and regional development.
