HM Government
Acknowledged
The social care workforce is critical to enabling the highest standards of care and support. We are listening to and engaging with frontline staff, sector leaders and our partners about how the Government can best support those who work in care. We are committed to the reform of the adult social care system and will consider the Committee’s recommendations for a People Plan for Social Care in the context of this work. We have also commissioned HEE to undertake a refresh of “Framework 15”, to understand future drivers of supply and demand for both the health and social care workforce. This includes registered professions, such as nurses and allied health professionals and demonstrates our commitment to integration and understanding the links between health and social care.
