Care England Comments: Cabinet Reshuffle

On Monday 13 November, Victoria Atkins was appointed as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

In response, Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care England said:

“Care England congratulates Victoria Atkins on her appointment as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. The social care landscape is becoming increasingly challenging despite government efforts. Winter pressures are looming and a general election is imminent, compounding upon a backdrop of chronic underfunding and workforce challenges. We remain hopeful that this appointment represents a new opportunity for the Government to renew its commitment to fixing social care.”
