While social care does need more funding, it's not just about chucking money at councils. Sure, more funds are going to help, but the focus must equally be on improving the quality of care each person receives. #socialcare

Wes Streeting’s speech borrowed Kennedy’s words, promised reform, and pledged £500m for social care. Critics warn it falls short of fixing pay, retention, and NHS challenges. #NHS #SocialCare #LabourParty
Why
Wes Streeting’s Labour conference speech invoked Kennedy, tackled NHS reform, poverty and social care, but offered little substance for healthcare. A £500m social care pledge risks being symbolic rather than transformative.
