'Fix social care first before sorting NHS'
The Sentinel
|July 04, 2025
MPS have warned the Health Secretary that "you can't fix the NHS without fixing social care" following the launch of the Govern- ment’s 10-year health plan.
-
Social care was described as a “very significant question” hanging over the blueprint by the shadow health secretary.
Edward Argar warned Wes Streeting he risks failing to “seize the genuine opportunity” presented by the plan if social care is not also reformed.
Helen Morgan, Liberal Democrat MP for North Shropshire, said a plan for the future of the NHS is “welcome” but sought reassurance on social care. “In 143 pages of the 10-year plan, there is only a passing reference to social care,’ she said. “Everyone knows that you can’t fix the NHS without fixing social care.”
