Liz Kendall – 2020 Comments on the Age UK Report

The comments made by Liz Kendall, the Shadow Minister for Social Care, on 7 November 2020.

Care staff have made immense sacrifices to look after our loved ones throughout this pandemic. Care workers have been undervalued and underpaid for too long, and it is time the Government took action to fix this.

We need a long-term plan for the care workforce as part of wider reforms to tackle the crisis in social care. The Prime Minister must bring forward a plan to reform these vital services by the end of the year and make sure our care workforce get the recognition they deserve.
