Labour can't keep papering over the cracks in the care sector

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : And as Andrew Harrop, director of the consultancy Public First, pointed out last week, the vacancy rate in social care has declined, from 8.1% to 6.8%, over the period since the Tories tightened up the system.
53% : Improving pay and conditions for neglected workers is an urgent national challenge When Yvette Cooper announced she was cancelling visas for social care, in a round of tough-talking TV interviews earlier this month, she made clear that pay and conditions in this chronically understaffed sector must improve.
37% : It is a painstaking process: given the fragmentation of social care, with 18,500 different employers, even the question of who will sit around the table is potentially contentious.
