Author Kate Mosse has said the lack of action on social care has partly been driven by the shortage of women involved in the Government’s decision-making process.
The Labyrinth author, who has been a carer for 12 years, said the fact there are “very few women in the room” means the issue has not been taken seriously enough.
This is despite social care being “enormously an area where women work in paid and unpaid” roles, she told the PA news agency.

Mosse said too few of the people involved with running social care have first-hand experience in the area.
