Barbara Keeley MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Mental Health and Social Care, commenting on Jeremy Hunt’s speech to the Conservative Party Conference, said:
“In his speech Jeremy Hunt failed to address the crisis in social care which his Government has created.
“Tory cuts to local authority budgets have led to falling care quality, cuts to care services and people stuck in hospitals because there is no care available for them in their community.
“The next Labour government will deal with the crisis by investing £8 billion in this Parliament, with £1 billion up front this year, and further develop our plans to build a National Care Service.“
