Wasted decade for care homes as daming report shows staffing shortage almost doubled Mirror 15 hrs ago Martin Bagot
Boris Johnson has been urged to fulfil his promise and fix social care “once and for all” as a damning report shows how the system is failing.
On the 10-year anniversary since the landmark Dilnot report laid out a plan to provide fair care for our elderly data indicates staffing vacancies have almost doubled.
Many more people are needing care and fewer are getting it while thousands more are forced to hand over their life savings to fund a place in a care home.

Successive governments have been accused of wasting a decade by failing to reform social care, with a system that remains “chronically underfunded” and vacancies up almost 80 per cent.
The damning verdict from the Care and Support Alliance, representing 76 charities, comes 10 years on from the Dilnot Commission published its review of social care, which recommended a series or reforms.
However, the organisation said politicians have “sat on their hands” despite repeatedly promising to act in three general elections held throughout the last decade, with nine manifesto promises to reform and refinance social care between the three major Westminster parties.
