against it, which you have said - simply cannot afford. if you do vote against it, which you have said you| against it, which you have said you welcome you are potentially denying extra funding which would go to the nhs and to social care. no, that is not the case. if we look at this and what other not the case. if we look at this .ic what other potential not the case. if we look at this . ic what other potential solutions to the issues, nobody would sensibly suggest that it is not good to have additional funds suggest that it is not good to have additionalfunds in relation to nhs and social care. in scotland, the scottish committee is putting significant additionalfunds into significant additional funds into both significant additionalfunds into both of these and anyone would welcome additional funding for public services. but the way that is funded is absolutely critical, and to fund that on the backs of the people who can least afford it is absolutely regressive, it s the wrong
approaching to the south west. it is this which could produce some severe thunderstorms later in the day. already clouding place across the channel islands, south west england and wales and spreading into northern ireland, not as much sunshine as we saw yesterday. showers and thunderstorms get going later, hit and miss, some places avoid them altogether. away from that and the cloudy northern scotland, a good part of scotland, north east wales, which england will be dry and sunny, the sun shined a bit hazy in places. but in the sunshine and riches will be up to around 27 degrees in parts of western scotland today, 30 degrees towards the south east of england. 0nly around the low 20s compared with yesterday across parts of south west england and wales. this evening and overnight the showers very sporadic, they will push northwards across the country. where they are could be quite torrential but may places stay dry overnight and tonight will be a particularly humid night. even though we
towards clearing the backlog in the nhs, before social care gets a bigger share. i m on message. from october 2023, nobody in england will have to pay more than £86,000 over their lifetime for care. but there are worries in the sector. the problem here is that people who aren t paying for their own care because they haven t got any money, or because its run out they are dependent on the state to pick up the tab, and the amounts of money councils have to fulfil that responsibility hasn t kept pace with the growing demand both from older people, but from disabled people of working age, as well. so those holes in their budget have continued to grow over the last ten years or so, and nothing that was announced really starts to fill those back up again. working people across the uk will pay the charge. the care plan is for england, but northern ireland, wales and scotland will get more money to decide how to spend. borisjohnson hasn t ruled out putting up more taxes in future. it s exp
the leap from where people are now and the challenging situation to where he says he is going to get to, which is very unclear. i am talkin: which is very unclear. i am talking to which is very unclear. i am talking to you which is very unclear. i am talking to you right - which is very unclear. i am talking to you right now, - which is very unclear. i am talking to you right now, wondering what you would do as the snp. how would you be funding this? well. what you would do as the snp. how would you be funding this?- would you be funding this? well, of course in scotland would you be funding this? well, of course in scotland the would you be funding this? well, of course in scotland the issue - would you be funding this? well, ofj course in scotland the issue doesn t exist in this way. in scotland we already have free personal care. there are lots of different ways we would be very supportive of looking at how we fund increases to public services. that is something that is abso
for as long as i can remember, probably for as long as you can remember, this big question on how to fund health and social care with an ageing population has weighed over every government. make no mistake this is a really big moment. yesterday borisjohnson announced what he called the biggest catch up programme in the history of the nhs. £36 billion, raised over three years, to deal with the backlog caused by covid 19. more than £5 billion of that will go towards changes to social care in england. scotland, wales and northern ireland will also receive an additional £2.2 billion to spend on their services. the money will also be used to overhaul how much families pay towards social care. but where is that money coming from? you know by now about the uk wide1.25% increase in national insurance contributions.
