Streeting needs more than good intentions to fix the social care crisis

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : We wish Baroness Casey and Mr Streeting well in their quest to fix social care; but all should also be prepared to consider the more modest, piecemeal and provisional solutions that have had to suffice thus far.
50% : But even in those less austere times, when growth delivered tax revenues for public spending increases, the Labour government chose not to spend significantly more on social care.
48% : History suggests all too powerfully that electorally, rather than morally, there are always more important things for politicians to spend public money on than social care - however lofty their words.
