Recommendation 53

53 Paragraph: 185

Increase annual funding for social care by £7 billion by 2023–24.

Recommendation
We reiterate the recommendation made in our ‘Social care: funding and workforce’ report that annual funding for social care should be increased by £7 billion by 2023–24. This will account for demographic changes, uplift staff pay in line with National Minimum Wage and protect people who face catastrophic social care costs.
