I am pleased that the Minister of State for Social Care, Helen Whately MP, has responded to my open letter on making social care better. You can see the open letter and my other work on reforming social care here.
Last year I launched my campaign to make social care better where I have been advocating four areas of reform in the social care sector. These four areas of reform are the workforce, supported living, technology, and integrated care boards. In her letter, the Minister took the time to go through each of the four areas of reform and outline what the Government is already doing in these areas. You can read the Minister’s response here.
I would like to thank the Minister for her response and while I am encouraged by this response, my work is far from over. I will continue to push for meaningful reforms to the social care sector and fight for a future where social care is accessible, inclusive and of the highest quality for all. My campaign has clearly shown the Government that hundreds of people up and down the country want to make social care better, now.
I would also like to extend my thanks to each and every one of my campaign supporters who has contributed to my campaign, by signing the open letter and sharing my message. It is because of their support that we have been able to make our voices heard at the highest levels of Government.
