Sense said : “The lack of focus on social care in the spending review will come as a huge disappointment to the 1.6 million disabled people with complex needs across the country and their families.
“The social care system should be a lifeline for disabled people. It should be working alongside the NHS to deliver vital services. But for years it has been underfunded, left to lag behind until now it is utterly broken.
“Sense has welcomed and will work with the Casey Commission as it makes recommendations to transform social care in the long term. But there will be no big changes until at least 2028.
“Social care is in crisis – disabled people can’t wait that long for change. Urgent investment in social care is needed now. https://www.sense.org.uk/
