A report from the Health and Social Care Select Committee warns that the failure to reform England's social care system for older and disabled adults is both financially and socially damaging. It emphasizes that inaction is an "active" decision and urges the government to recognize the substantial costs associated with ignoring necessary reforms. The report highlights that social care consumes a growing portion of local budgets and stresses the need for integrated planning with NHS reforms. Investment in social care could also stimulate economic growth, creating jobs and delivering significant returns on investment.
The Health and Social Care Select Committee states that failing to reform England's social care system is both a human rights issue and an economic burden on taxpayers.
Investment in social care not only enhances service quality but also promotes economic growth, with each £1 spent expected to generate £1.75 for the wider economy.
