'National Care Service' - Casey Commission

'Casey Commission tasked with producing plan for ‘national care service’ by 2026

Government remit also asks independent commission to consider services for older people and disabled adults separately and to ensure recommendations stick to government spending settlement

The Casey Commission has been tasked with producing a plan next year for delivering a “national care service” over the course of a decade.

The 2026 report will be followed by a further report, due by 2028, setting out longer-term recommendations for the sector, according to the Department of Health and Social Care’s (DHSC) terms of reference for the commission, published today.

The Independent Commission into Adult Social Care, headed by crossbench peer and renowned government troubleshooter Baroness (Louise) Casey, started its work this week.

The plan to set up the commission sparked criticism from social care organisations, after it was announced in January, due to its three-year timeframe being seen as far too long to develop a plan for a sector under under severe immediate pressures and facing significant future challenges.'
