Posted by on June 14, 2014 in Home Page | 0 comments

The Commission on the Future of Health and Social Care in England is asking whether the post-war settlement, which established separate systems for health and social care, is still fit for purpose.

Drawing on accounts from patients and their families, the commission argues that the current system is no longer fit for purpose.
