New commission on social care reform won't report until 2028
THE government has been urged to speed up a new independent commission on how to fund and reform social care in England.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced that the two-phase commission, led by Baroness Louise Casey, will begin in April — but won’t make recommendations until 2028.
The first phase will report to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in mid-2026, looking at the issues facing social care and recommending medium-term reforms.
