Social care affects over ten million people in England at any one time. The Covid-19 Pandemic has demonstrated more than ever the importance of having sustainable care arrangements in place and the pressure and challenges faced by all those involved across the sector. Set against a backdrop of under-funding, lack of resources and wider accusations of neglect, the Government has put forward its ambitious new plans, which it believes will put Adult Social Care on a sound footing for the future.

In September 2022, the Government set out details of the plan for adult social care in England, including a cap on social care costs and how financial assistance will work for those without substantial assets. Its policy paper covers wider support that the Government will provide for the social care system, and how it intends on improving the integration of health and social care.

The Government’s ambition is to protect individuals and families against unpredictable and potentially catastrophic care costs. Therefore, from October 2023, no eligible person starting adult social care will have to pay more than £86,000 for personal care over their lifetime. 

This event will address how realistic the Government’s plans are as it begins its consultation on its adult social care charging reforms from October this year. The event will explore the Government’s chances of delivering systemic reform for the future. It will address the decisions it is taking to put social care on a sustainable footing, discuss whether it will deliver an affordable solution to the challenges faced and debate whether or not they can deliver a world-class social care system fit for the 21st century.
