The Settlement
Our national family, the Care Association Alliance, is launching a coordinated campaign for a national funding settlement backed by Bridgehead Communications.
The campaign, underpinned by serious policy analysis, is making the case that the sector does not need its own version of the NHS. What it needs is a nationally coherent settlement: one that funds care at the true cost of provision, decides access by need rather than geography, and ends the unpredictable bills families face.
Over the coming months, we are publishing a series of detailed, costed policy papers on fee rates, commissioning and workforce. We will press the case in the press and in Parliament until a fair settlement is on the table.
The Settlement is our monthly brief tracking our campaign: what we have done, what we have achieved, and what comes next. Each issue brings together the campaign data, the press coverage, and where the case stands in Westminster. It also sets out concrete things you can do, including how to raise the funding case with your own MP before the summer recess.
