Original: New NHS-style social care system could take decades, Dilnot says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c83v4qe70r0ko?at_me

Economist Andrew Dilnot, architect of proposed reforms, says building an NHS-style social care system in England could take decades, urging politicians to treat social care with the same seriousness as the health service. His comments renew debate over long-promised reform, with successive governments having delayed action despite cross-party acknowledgement that the current system is underfunded and unsustainable.

Why now: Renewed debate over long-delayed social care reform in England as Dilnot makes the case for an NHS-style model.
