In September, the government announced a manifesto-breaking tax
increase that would fund social care reforms and solve the NHS
backlog caused by COVID. Across the care sector, the news has
generally been met with a positive response but it just simply
won't address the multitude of problems left behind after the
pandemic.
BLM's expert, Jennifer Johnston has spoken
to Tomorrow's Care to discuss the
announcement and what it really means for a sector that it at
breaking point.
She said, "The announcement does not address that
almost 150,000 employees left the care sector during COVID-19. The
adequacy and cost of care provided to those in need is perhaps the
best documented challenge out of the pandemic but support and
attention also needs to be given to the sector's workforce.
Members of staff have dealt with a demanding and emotionally
turbulent year on the frontline and the number of employees that
have left the industry is only exacerbated by the impact of Brexit
and the availability of foreign care workers."
