Responding to the final report from the Times Health Commission, Nuffield Trust Chief Executive Thea Stein said:“In an election year the final report from the Times Health Commission should provide plenty of food for thought. The breadth of the report illustrates that across health and care services we need innovative and bold action. “The failure to implement limited proposed reforms to social care funding is the latest delay to taking steps to pull the care sector back from the brink. “While many of these ideas are of individual merit, political leaders will remain faced with the difficult question of how to bring the changes needed together while health and care services and their workforce remain under severe pressure. That inevitably includes how to fund the change and accepting the need for long-term investment rather than expecting quick fixes.”
