during their lifetime and have a property, and on any basis, that has got to be wrong. this morning, this minister refused to elaborate on the government's plans, but did say... we'll work with national partners, with local partners and those with lived experience of the social care sector to get this right and get it right as we are determined to do. currently in england, people have to meet some of their care costs if they have assets over £14,250, and above the level of £23,250, they have to pay the care bill in full. many want to see a lifetime cap on how much people have to pay but that comes with a big cost to the taxpayer. labour wants a new system, too, but don't think raising national insurance is the solution. we're sceptical about the idea of loading the entire burden of the social care crisis onto the supermarket workers and delivery drivers who are already dealing with really high housing costs, childcare costs and others.
