Almost two-thirds of MPs want funding for social care to be increased by £7 billion a year over the next two years, a survey suggests. And almost a quarter believe the rise should be more than this, according to polling for Health for Care, a coalition of 15 health organisations led by the NHS Confederation. The groups say social care needs “urgent and radical reform and significant investment”, and are calling on the Government to deliver on its manifesto pledge to “fix” the sector. Results of the survey, of 96 MPs and 520 councillors in England between November 25 and December 15, come ahead of Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Budget on Wednesday.
