General Election Announcement – Care England Reaction

In response to yesterday’s announcement by the Prime Minister that there will be a general election on 4 July,  Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care England, says:

“For the adult social care sector, this general election will be an opportunity to reflect, discuss challenges and priorities, and consider alternative visions of what the future may look like. For too long, our sector has been neglected and the can kicked down the road. With this election, that must come to an end. It’s time for political parties to finally put adult social care at the top of the agenda and bring about the generational reform and investment we so desperately need.”
