รายงานBurnham Proposes Free Care — but How Would England Pay?เขียน 27 กันยายน 2569 เวลา 14:51 UTCรับชมบทถอดเสียง0:11Prime Minister Andy Burnham proposes a national care service free at the point of0:15use.0:16For families facing care costs, that would change when a bill arrives, but what0:19would the service cover and how would he pay for it?0:22People seeking council-funded care in England generally have a needs assessment than0:26a financial assessment.0:27Savings above £23,250 generally rule out council help with care costs.0:33Falling below that figure does not necessarily make care free.0:36A person may still have to contribute.0:38Burnham wants to move towards an NHS-style system in which everyone contributes and0:42everyone is covered, but he has not said exactly who would qualify or which bills0:46would disappear.0:47He calls the existing social care system threadbare and warns that, if it remains0:51broken, it will ultimately damage the NHS.0:54The distinction between health care and social care matters to someone who needs0:57help with daily life.0:58An NHS appointment is not subject to the council care cost means test, while support1:03with care can be £18 billion a year was the cost estimate put to Burnham for an1:07England-wide system free at the point of use, he replied.1:11It's not that high.1:12That figure is not his costed plan or an agreed budget.1:15He supplied no replacement annual estimate, funding formula, or specific levy, and1:20did not rule out tax rises.1:22He has indicated that the choices could be difficult or unpopular.1:25That leaves a political as well as a financial gap.1:28Labor's 2024 election manifesto pledged not to increase national insurance, income1:33tax, or VAT.1:34Burnham has not explained how the proposed service would be financed alongside that1:37pledge.1:38Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philip warns that tax rises are likely, calls further1:42rises a conservative red line, and says his party would look for savings elsewhere.1:46His warning is a forecast, not a decision to raise taxes.1:49No quantified alternative savings have been established either.1:52Burnham wants Baroness Casey's social care review brought forward from its original1:562028 deadline to summer 2027.1:59He says he will work on the details with her and seek cross-party consensus.2:03The earlier deadline has not been confirmed, and other parties have not agreed to2:07his proposed model.2:08Burnham says he will develop a clear plan and put it to voters at the next general2:12election.2:13That is a commitment to present a proposal, not a funded service already operating,2:17or a promise to introduce one before the election.2:19The plan still needs to define what personal care would be free, whether residential2:23or accommodation charges would remain, and when any new service could begin.2:26Until those questions and a credible cost are settled, families cannot know which2:30care bills it would remove or what taxpayers would pay.2:33No date for the next general election or the start of a national care service has2:37been established.2:38People needing care remain subject to the existing assessment and charging rules.อ่านบทความลำดับเวลาของเรื่องHeyDexคลิปสั้น ↗ใครรายงานอะไรประเด็นที่สื่อมากกว่าหนึ่งแห่งรายงานBurnham’s proposed social care reform2 สำนักข่าวBurnham’s position
