High Peak Liberal DemocratsToday a Commons report highlights how much the adult social care sector is underfunded.
Layla Moran said that this had to change:
Care workers work tirelessly but instead of getting the support they need they face low pay, falling morale and a high turnover of staff.
The country is in desperate need for a long-term plan to fund the increasing demand for care. That is why the Liberal Democrats propose putting a penny on income tax to raise the transformational investment needed to support care workers and protect the future of care services.
We need to do more to value care as a profession, pay people properly and give them career progression and job satisfaction. With an ageing population, it makes sense to do so for everybody's benefit.
