Reflecting on 1 year of highlights @TheKingFund - I was delighted to partner with inspirational people to find hope and solutions in a year of challenge and change for the health & care system. I look forward to more in 2025, so the best possible care can be available to all.

Great to join @BBCr4today this morning to talk about one of the most pressing public policy issues of the day. We need pace & energy to improve social care for millions now, let's get on with it ⬇️
"We've got a social care system that doesn't work for millions of people." Sarah Woolnough, chief executive of independent health think tank The King's Fund, urges the government to 'accelerate the timetable' for social care reform saying it is about 'human dignity'. #R4Today

Excellent thread from my colleague @blimeysimon on today's social care announcement. There are a few reasons to be cheerful, but the timescale of a Commission should be accelerated. We don't need to wait years for a l/ term vision for s/care & behind the wait is human suffering
If you’re waking to news of the commission on #socialcare your first instinct may be to head back under the covers. What, another one? Really? But there are genuine reasons to support it, along with a some concerns, particularly on the timing. Shortish thread.
