Labour to introduce "National Care Service" in 2028
BBC ^ | Jan 3rd | Alison Holt

Posted on 01/03/2025 11:05:29 AM PST by RandFan

The government's ultimate aim is "a new National Care Service, able to meet the needs of older and disabled people into the 21st Century", said Streeting.

He rejected the suggestion the government is pushing social care reform into the long grass, saying it is "already acting" and had "done a lot in the first six months".

Ms Woolnough told the Today programme the government should "get on and do a whole range of things that [it] can now" and then accelerate the timetable for further reform.

"Measures to help the workforce, measures to improve quality and so on, you don't need a commission to enable you to do a whole load of stuff," she added.

Social care means help for older or disabled people with day-to-day tasks such as washing, dressing, medication and eating.

Only those with the most complex health needs get social care provided free by the NHS, so most care is paid for by councils.

In England, only people with high needs and savings or assets of less than £23,250 ($27,000) are eligible for that help, leaving a growing number of people to fund themselves.

Some face paying hundreds of thousands of pounds for their care and may be forced to sell their own home as a result.

Also offering free euthanasia to the music of Beethoven and a screen filled with glorious nature while laying on a gurney naked covered with a sheet.

As the PTB push crunchy locust fillings for sandwiches and meal worm gummies, soylent green can’t be that far behind.

They’re going to import Pakistanis to rape the old women (like happened to 250,000 white girls) and then likely enough, smother them with pillows.

Patterned after the one that Hitler introduced to assist the elderly and disabled? I’ll bet in includes “voluntary” euthanasia.
