ADASS responds to the Health and Social Care Select Committee report on workforce resilience

ADASS warmly welcomes the Commons Health and Social Care Committee’s report on workforce burnout and resilience in the NHS and social care, particularly its call for publication of a people plan for social care as a matter of urgency and for objective, transparent and independently audited workforce projections for five-, 10- and 20-year periods.

It welcomes also the committee’s restatement of its call for a 10-year plan for adult social care.

Stephen Chandler, ADASS president, said: “The committee’s findings underline the need for the Government urgently to set out its proposals for the future of care and support, to provide sustainable funding and to produce a long-term plan for adult social care that values and rewards our colleagues for the incredible work that they do.”
