Majority want long-term social care funding inclusion
A poll of NHS Confederation members has revealed that 85 per cent believe that the long-term funding settlement recently announced by the Prime Minister should include both the NHS and social care.
The NHS Confederation has maintained that the NHS and social care systems need to operate as one, urging the government to be aware of the danger of lurching from Budget to Budget with short-term fixes. It appears that its members agree, although only 144 of the 290 health leaders responded to the poll.
Speaking to the Parliamentary Liaison Committee in March, Theresa May said: “This year and in advance of next year’s Spending Review, I do want to come forward with a long-term plan. I want that to be done in conjunction with NHS leaders and provide a multi-year funding settlement consistent with our fiscal rules and balanced approach.”
NHS Confederation is collaborating with the Institute of Fiscal Studies and the Health Foundation to conduct a comprehensive study into the funding needs of the UK’s health and care systems over the next 15 years. The study is expected to report in June 2018.
