CAMPAIGNERS have learned that some of the first recommendations from a newly launched commission into adult social care in England may not be implemented until 2036. 

The independent commission, announced in January, formally began this week with a meeting between chairwoman Baroness Louise Casey and people with lived experience in the sector.

Although the first phase will report in 2026, government-published terms reveal recommendations will be implemented “in a phased way over a decade,” while the second phase may not report until 2028.
