MPs warn social care reforms ‘doomed to fail’ without ‘robust financial case’

There must be a robust financial case set out for reform in social care and the cost of inaction, MPs said (Alamy/PA) -

Recommendations from a newly launched commission into social care will be “doomed to failure” unless the true cost of inaction in the sector is set out, MPs have warned.

The Health and Social Care Committee said there needs to be a “robust financial case” laid out for reform, to support the moral case, which it said has “never been stronger”.
