But pay rates while important is only one of the areas which requires improving as others include better travel expenses for not only mileage, but also travel time, proper sick pay arrangement rather than relying on Statutary Sick Pay, better holiday entitlement including more recognition of Bank Holidays, (BH), where working BH should be at least 1.5% of pay rate but really double. These are just some. but there will be others.

We know full well that reliance on the UK workforce to cover the extensive shortages of carers will not work, so continued recruitment of non-UK carers is required and not in the short-term, but the long-term.

Social care has to be fully covered to themeet the increasing demands for care and government Ministers saying family members should do more, just shows how much these Ministers know, for families are already doing more than should be expected for in 2021 the saving to the UK was over £193billion, up from £132 billion in 2015.

This continued underfunding of social care is leading to many more health inequalities in not only those in need of care, but also the family members providing care. This in turn is increasing the demand for NHS care, which is also underfunded and again massive staff shortages. In the NHS digital has to be greatly expanded and systems used which are reliable, so not obtaining from the likes of Fujitsu and being transparent and accountable when the problems arise.

if these problems are not solved the extent of social care will continue to be insufficient, thus leading to many if not all areas of the UK not having social care to speak of and eventually this will lead to further declines in many areas of the NHS. It could be in years to come there will be no social care and NHS to speak of.

In addition climate change will also be of a great impact, so funding there can’t be ignored.

Major mistakes have been made in many areas over the years, mainly by Governments as they tend to concentrate on the short-term, if they even do that and never the long-term. Perhaps we should have experts in government rather than MPs.
