  5. #SocialCare in #England is as unfair as American #HealthCare where the most vulnerable in society can lose everything. They can be wiped out not just by illness, but wiped out #financially

    So there is a massive cost, and there is also a cost to the #NHS, as I said, because there are a huge number of people in #hospitals across #England every day who are #medically fit to be discharged home but can’t be discharged home because the social #care isn’t there.

  10. Q: So how much would it cost?

    Not that high.

    But can I directly deal with this issue of the costs?

    Because it’s as if there isn’t a cost at the moment. There is a cost. People are paying care charges now.

    - They are spending tens of thousands of pounds from their #savings, sometimes losing their #homes. That is what’s happening at the moment.
