This position statement from think tank the King’s Fund says the social care system is not fit for purpose and is failing the people who rely on it. Long-term problems, including high levels of unmet need and providers struggling to deliver the quality of care that older and disabled people have a right to expect, are becoming more acute due to rising demand, backlogs caused by Covid-19 and a workforce crisis.
