The situation in social care is far less visible but arguably even bigger issue.
Shortage of formal and informal care means we can’t discharge people quickly and safely from hospital. And people are not supported to live well in the community either, putting them at risk of hospital admission.

@theguardian.com seem to have multiple crossed wires here:
- The Future Homes Standard will ban gas boilers in newbuild homes. It has nothing to do with existing homes.
- Labour made it clear before the election that they weren't prepared to set a date to ban new gas boilers in existing homes.

UK government scraps plan to ban sale of gas boilers by 2035

I've heard a lot of that in the housing sector. The to-ing and fro-ing on section 21 and EPC minimums has left a lot of people unwilling to commit until there are definite dates in law. I spoke to taxi drivers who had similar in relation to the CAZ. I'm with you on this - uncertainty is bad!

But definitely needs to be part of the conversation. Especially in those areas that are still wedded to parallel routes (ahem...)

Yes - we do rather need the Green Energy Revolution we were promised. Is it also about parts/maintenance etc? There seems to be a skills shortage in most of the sectors that are needed to revitalise the economy, I suspect this is no different

I suspect until the cost of the alternative comes down to something in the hundreds rather than tens of thousands of pounds it feels discriminatory to remove the option

A lot of people on minimum wage in hospitality or security work very long weeks, where those in cleaning, retail and care roles are more likely to be part-time (and women)
