NHS Confederation -
This report, based on a survey of NHS leaders across England, says staffing gaps and a lack of capacity in social care are putting the care and safety of patients in the NHS at risk. More than nine in ten NHS leaders warn of a social care workforce crisis in their area which they expect will get worse this winter. Almost all NHS leaders say that the most impactful solution would be better pay for social care staff and call for the Government to increase investment in social care as a priority.
