Event

Whole Person Care with Rt Hon Andy Burnham MP

Speaker

Rt Hon Andy Burnham MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Health

Health and social care face major pressures. Currently, they are separately-funded functions that operate in very different accountability frameworks, with national government accountable for NHS services, and local authorities responsible for social care. This fragmentation leads to many undesirable consequences, including higher costs to the state, which are only set to worsen as our society ages. Evidence suggests that closer integration could help resolve these problems and achieve better outcomes for patients and carers.

Our speaker at this policy dinner is Rt Hon Andy Burnham MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Health, who will discuss his vision of Labour’s policy for an integrated health and social care system. The event will be chaired by Emran Mian, Director, Social Market Foundation.

This policy dinner is by invitation only.
