Andy Burnham has said social care in England should be reformed, prompting consideration of the possible approaches to changing the system.
The available material identifies the need for reform and frames the issue around the options that could be pursued. However, it does not provide details of any specific plan, policy proposal or timetable put forward by Burnham.
No further information is supplied on the scale of the changes being considered, how they might be funded or what impact reform could have on people receiving care and those providing it.
The latest position available is that Burnham supports reform of social care in England, while the possible next steps and the preferred model remain unspecified in the supplied material.
