Louise Casey warns England's social care system is in chaos
Louise Casey will warn that successive governments have been asleep at the wheel, leaving England's adult social care system in complete chaos.
Louise Casey, head of the adult social care review, is set to declare that England's vital social care system operates as a chaotic patchwork of local services with no clear vision. She will argue that no one is truly in charge of the system, leading to varying standards and waiting times depending on where people live. Casey is expected to call for a new settlement for care based on shared values of decency and contribution. The review has gained urgency as politicians explore major reforms, including potential new national care services and funding strategies.
