According to the Financial Times, “Britons now have the worst access to healthcare in Europe.” due to long waiting lists. (https://www.ft.com/content/de8fc348-0025-4821-9ec5-d50b4bbacc8d)

Beginning just before the start of the pandemic but gaining momentum quickly, there has been a huge increase in the rates of chronic illnesses amongst people that have long-term inabilities to work. According to the article, there are half a million MORE working-age people with health conditions that impair them from working.

The article goes on to say, “economic activity rates are lower for Britons with mental health problems, than for any other condition.” And over the past year, 1/6 UK adults that have needed either medical examinations or treatment, have been unable to get access, mostly due to waiting lengths and with potential spending cuts on the government agenda, the government needs to do something about this issue ASAP.

What do you think can be done about this issue? Like, comment and share!

MPs in the House of Commons have been told they need to “ditch the perception that care work is unskilled” as it is “simply not true” – Chevonne Baker (Home Care worker for Right at Home)

Baker spoke to the Health and Social Care Committee and gave recommendations on how to improve retention in the social care sector, suggesting that the label regularly given to care workers as “low-skilled/unskilled” is bad for the profession and can make people feel as though they’re not being valued properly.

What are some of your thoughts towards this. Let us know in the comments below.

Policy Exchange have released a new report which urges the new Prime Minister to act in two major areas within the health and social care sectors, as there has been a speedy decline in public satisfaction with general practice. (https://lnkd.in/e8--4zHv)

The report states “Performance across all major NHS metrics is in decline and the record waits across general practice, emergency and planned care have led to the biggest single fall in public satisfaction with the NHS.”

The report goes on to say “Quality is a major issue within social care. Two thirds of people who use the services are dissatisfied and the workforce of provider market are fragile.”

What do you think the Prime Minister needs to address first? Let us know in the comments.

Care England are calling for independent adult social care staff to be placed on equal footing with NHS staff, as the lack of government action is having lasting consequences on employment opportunities within the care sector. (https://lnkd.in/ea_Wk6di)

Recruitment and retention of staff has been negatively affected and this has been proven by a “52% increase in vacant posts in the sector over the past year.” – Professor Martin Green OBE (Chief Executive of Care England)

“Both the Scottish and Welsh governments have provided bonuses for social care staff in recognition of their heroic efforts throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Care England would implore the English Government to follow suit; the Adult Social Care workforce needs to be seen for what it is and ensure that staff are remunerated accordingly.”
