Fragile social care system worsened by Covid-19

“Covid-19 has worsened an already fragile social care system which is impacting those who are vulnerable the most. Urgent action is needed with the Government taking the lead in developing and enabling an ecosystem of support for individuals as they move through different life stages into their later life.

"We want the Government to deliver a social care plan which includes a cap so no-one will face catastrophic care costs. The plan also needs to support consumers in better understanding their care needs and provide the financial services sector with the ability to design complementary solutions for people who want to supplement state support.”
