Transcript from Levelling Up, Housing and Communities committee inquiry into Long-term funding of adult social care - Apr 25

This inquiry will focus on how adult social care should be funded in the long-term. The Committee aims to understand the extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the landscape for long-term funding reform since we published recommendations on the subject together with the Health and Social Care Committee in 2018. The inquiry will consider how additional funds for adult social care can be raised, and how the adult social care market can be improved. 

Witnesses: Sarah Pickup, Deputy Chief Executive, Local Government Association (LGA); Gavin Edwards, Senior National Officer for Social Care, UNISON; and Adrian Jenkins, Director, Pixel Financial Management Ltd.
