‘You have to sit quietly until you die’: The families failed by England’s social care system

Andy Burnham has pledged to fast-track the Casey Commission, an independent review of adult social care in England, with final recommendations expected by summer 2027. Burnham compared the unfairness of the English social care system to American healthcare, noting that vulnerable individuals often lose everything. Meanwhile, the MEN has urged citizens to vote in the upcoming mayoral election, emphasising that the next mayor will significantly shape the region for years to come, regardless of candidate choice.
