Summary

ADASS, is a charity that provides a national voice and leadership for adult social care.

In 2019, they published a report, Sort out social care, for all, once and for all, setting out what they believe needs to be done by the Government to tackle the crisis. The report called for:

• Short-term funding, including continuation of the Better Care Fund and Improved Better Care Fund, to prevent the further breakdown of essential care and support over the course of the next financial year.
• Long-term funding and reform following, to enable us to build care and support for the millions who need it and create a social care system that is truly fit for the 21st century.
• A long-term plan for adult social care which means a support system in place that links with other public services including the NHS and supports resilient individuals, families and communities.
