PSA Commission on Care Report Towards a New Deal for Care and Carers was launched last week. It was based on a year-long inquiry into the state of care for older people in England undertaken by academics and policy experts from the Universities of Warwick and Liverpool, the Women’s Budget Group and the Fawcett Society. It considered issues relating to funding, policy and delivery. Shortcomings were highlighterd in the current system, including the burden carried by many women.
On this theme, problems were also revealed by Local Government Ombudsman Review of Adult Social Care Complaints 2015/16 this week
