Care Sector Insight (15.11.2024) - A Message from our CEO

A Message from our CEO

“The Government’s first budget was disastrous for the care sector, and it has placed even more financial burdens on a sector that has suffered years of inadequate funding. 

I want all members to be assured that Care England is doing all we can to expose the impact of this Budget on the sector and demand either a change to the policy or extra funding to pay for it. We are currently looking at every option, including a legal challenge, to find a solution to this crisis.  

Last week, the Secretary of State delivered a speech on his vision for the 21st-century NHS, and none of it can be delivered without social care. 

This Government has said one of the key priorities was growth, but their policy towards social care is killing the sector and will lead to a loss of jobs and a reduction of services.” 

Professor Martin Green OBE,
Chief Executive, Care England
