I see lessons have not been learned from the spectacular loss of Gorton and Denton.

Not My Priority: How The Public Sees Social Care (And What Can Be Done About It) | The King's Fund It's widely acknowledged that social care reform is essential. In this report we explore why public opinion and attitudes towards social care are a key barrier to change.
