Davey: NHS 10 year plan could be “the most expensive sticking plaster in history”

EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Responding to the Government announcing their 10 year plan for the NHS, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:
“Without fixing social care, this NHS plan could be the most expensive sticking plaster in history.
“It appears Labour are borrowing from the Conservative playbook - ignoring the social care crisis because it’s just too hard. But if care and family carers are only ever an afterthought, the Government will never fix the NHS.
“For all the fanfare today, a truly bold plan to deliver the change that people are crying out for would have had care at its heart. Instead, we got a deafening silence.”
