Paper 01 | Adult Social Care Funding Reform
The case for a national funding settlement - the first in a series focusing on the needs of adult social care.
The Care Association Alliance brings together care associations from across England, including OACP, representing the full breadth of the adult social care sector:
- 9,000 Member organisations across England
- All major care sectors represented: residential, nursing, home care and supported living
- One unified voice to Government, Parliament and the Casey Commission
The campaign is supported by the Rt Hon Damian Green MP, former First Secretary of State and de facto Deputy Prime Minister, who held direct responsibility for social care policy in Government.
The Settlement \ Edition 1
Our national family, the Care Association Alliance, has launched 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 media 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.
