A quarter of the £2bn NHS funding boost announced this week should be allocated to social care or home care services will fall into crisis, former care minister Paul Burstow has warned.
Burstow was speaking ahead of the launch today of his Commission on the Future of the Home Care Workforce, which made extensive recommendations to boost investment in care workers’ wages, training and development.
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt today confirmed that an extra £1.7bn would be invested in the NHS in 2015-16 – recycled from other government department and Department of Health coffers – and a further £1bn generated from banking fines would be spent on health over the next four years.
