Recommendation (the committee's words)
The current system is unfair, confusing, demeaning, and frightening for the most vulnerable people in our society, and their families. It is therefore essential that the Government tackle the problems in the care sector as a priority. The success of the reforms in Japan has demonstrated that it is possible for a Government to grasp the nettle and take decisions on social care which, though they may be initially difficult, lead to positive and lasting change which is widely accepted by society.
