The current level of funding provided to families through direct payments makes it extremely difficult to recruit staff and deliver essential care, often pushing families into crisis. At present, families can only offer less than half of what can be paid to a care agency.

Review the process of NHS continuing healthcare (CHC)
I am calling for an urgent and comprehensive review of the NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) system. I believe that the Continuing Healthcare (CHC) process is flawed, inefficient, and can place an unnecessary burden on families.
Provide funding for Veterans to remain in care homes
We call on the Government to create a fund to ensure that Veterans in Care Homes are not forced to change homes when their own private funding runs out. This can be especially hard for Veterans living with Dementia
Change review process for ongoing benefits for people with lifelong disabilities
Allow workers in the DWP to review the available case notes for people who have lifelong disabilities rather than require people with lifelong disabilities and their carers to attend repeated reviews.
Establish a Health & Care Commission on long-term NHS & social care reform
We ask the Government to establish an independent, cross-party Health & Care Consensus Commission tasked with creating a 10–15-year legislative plan for NHS and social care reform (including funding, workforce, system design, digital infrastructure and reform), to end repeated cycles of disruption.
Introduce the care home fees cap for personal care costs
A care cap was due to come into force in England in October 2025. It would have meant that no one would have to pay more than £86,000 in England for their personal care. This was postponed and finally abolished by the previous and current governments. I feel strongly that it should be implemented.
