Major implications here for health and #socialcare services, not just obvious ones about service delivery but also workforce availability mol.im/a/7620481

Interesting graphs from @CareQualityComm #StateOfCare report. The two regions with the largest fall in #carehome beds - London and the North East - are those with the lowest % of self-funders. Coincidence? More likely that new builds are going where the money is. #socialcare

Solutions to adult social care too much of a political hot potato to go into election manifestos according to @kevinhollinrake and @GillianKeegan. Needs to be cross party and out of the limelight of an election. @nhsconfed #CPC19

Curious about the best way of funding social care? We've created a handy tool which puts different funding options against key tests for success ⚙️🔧> nuffieldtrust.org.uk/chart/s…

Evidence presented to @SCappg from representatives identified a need for parity between the sector’s employees and equivalent colleagues in the #NHS #socialcare

EXCLUSIVE: Previously unseen figures reveal the extent of so-called ‘revenge evictions’ where vulnerable residents are spitefully kicked out of care homes after families raise concerns about their treatment @CCTVinCARE @SCappg @LouHaigh @GillianKeegan

This really is a tremendous report into the workforce crisis in social care - not just another reprise of the problems but practical proposals for change. We all await the resumption of politics!
Today our Joint Chairs @GillianKeegan & @LouHaigh publish our first Inquiry Report. We hope this is the first phase of the urgent Professionalisation of Social Care Workers. appgsocialcare.org.uk/report…

Will the £ promised in the Spending Round for developing healthcare staff skills be enough to turn the workforce crisis around? @jappleby123 tells @HSJnews it's less than what would be needed just to get back to 2013/14 levels of the training budget hsj.co.uk/finance-and-effici…

I’m very proud of the work @LouHaigh and myself have done with the support of the APPG on social care. It’s been drowned out a bit by political events but I will make sure @MattHancock and @BorisJohnson see the recommendations from our report @SCappg #socialcare #CareCounts
‘This cross-party report should be the start of reforming the sector and rightly valuing the people who work in it. We need to provide a 21st century funding model for social care but all options will need a highly valued and professionally trained workforce...’ @GillianKeegan

The identity and status of the social care workforce needs to be ‘transformed as a matter of urgency’, a @SCappg inquiry has concluded. @CareEngland @ukhca @skillsforcare

People forget how skilled our workforce is. #proudtocare
“This is personal care now. Having to give someone a wash or a shower. Changing stomas or catheter bags. PEG feeds, controlled drugs, nebulisers.”

"we welcome this initiative from an all-party group of parliamentarians that recognises there is an urgent need to value and reward the efforts of the #socialcare workforce so that social care becomes a genuine career of choice" - @andytildensfc
See our statement on the APPG on Social Care report focusing on the workforce issues in social care, calling for professionalisation of care workers.

My foreword is only the start to a passionate and principled report...
We are also hugely indebted to @JillManthorpe at @hscwru for guidance, oversight & a compelling Foreword to the report.
