Shaping the Future of Care Together‏

On Monday 26 October the TUC is convening a consultative meeting to discuss its response to the Government's green paper on the future of social care in England. Public policy on social care has massive implications for service users and UNISON members in health and local government.

Back in July Andy Burnham Secretary of State for Health floated the concept of a 'national care service'. UNISON supports key parts of the government reform agenda but believes that services are grossly underfunded

The consultation on the Green paper ends on 13 November 2009.
