Baroness Casey is chairing a review into adult social care<\/p>\n

As we mentioned earlier, Andy Burnham is expected to announce he’s speeding up the Casey Commission when he speaks later today. <\/p>\n

Here’s what that is: <\/p>\n

Baroness Louise Casey is chairing an independent review of adult social care in England. Her work began last summer and she is expected to report the review’s findings by 2028.<\/p>\n

The review is split into two phases. The first, medium term, looks to set out a plan for how to implement a National Care Service. This should report in 2026.<\/p>\n

Phase two considers how social care is funded in the longer term, and is expected to report back by 2028.<\/p>\n

And here’s what Casey has said so far: <\/p>\n

In March, Baroness Casey told the BBC the UK is facing a “moment of reckoning” in social care and called on the government to take action immediately to address current failings.<\/p>\n

This morning, speaking to the Today programme, she said: “The vision that we must have for a country when it comes to a national care service is that the public do not have to face this constant battle lines between who does what and how. <\/p>\n

“The idea that a member of the public is having to navigate their way through a system that tells you all you need to know about public services.”<\/p>\n

We’ll bring you more from Casey’s Today interview shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘A moment of reckoning in social care’: What is the Casey review?published at 09:39 BST 09:39 BST Image…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":717005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-717004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=717004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/717005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=717004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=717004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=717004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
