Social care\u2019s \u201cquiet crisis\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social care has remained politically marginal for decades, not because it lacks importance, but because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Its impact is concentrated among fewer voters at any one time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Responsibility is fragmented across local and national systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It lacks a single, unified voice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is chronic underfunding, masked by the extraordinary commitment of people working in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Why sticking\u2011plaster funding doesn\u2019t work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current approach, annual top\u2011ups through local government settlements and short\u2011term grants, is acknowledged as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Insufficient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inefficient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unsustainable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year buys time, but not stability. The underlying funding question remains unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Two unavoidable funding truths<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, the session makes one unavoidable point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>care must be paid for, either collectively, individually, or through a combination of both<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discussion explores:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tax\u2011based approaches (including revisiting a health and care levy)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insurance\u2011style models that spread risk across the population<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The role of personal savings and housing wealth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The need for generational fairness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No option is presented as painless, but inaction is framed as the most damaging choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Learning from pensions reform<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key comparison is drawn with pension auto\u2011enrolment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Initially controversial<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Politically risky<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ultimately successful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The suggestion: <strong>care funding reform may require similar long\u2011term thinking<\/strong>, normalising preparation for care needs in the same way we now prepare for retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Commissioning for outcomes, not activity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The session challenges one of the system\u2019s most entrenched problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Providers are paid for volume, not results<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supporting independence can reduce income<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prevention is financially penalised<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A shift towards <strong>outcomes\u2011based commissioning<\/strong> is proposed, rewarding providers for improved independence, reduced hospital admission, and sustained wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Workforce status and sustainability are inseparable from funding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding reform is linked directly to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fair pay and professional recognition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Career progression visibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retention and domestic workforce growth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Care is framed as <strong>skilled, responsible, and life\u2011shaping work,<\/strong> not a minimum\u2011wage occupation, requiring funding models that reflect that reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. The need for a unified voice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the strongest messages is the absence of a single, authoritative voice for social care:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Providers are fragmented<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Messages to government are inconsistent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Influence is diluted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The case is made for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A stronger, unified sector body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear, shared principles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cross\u2011party engagement that reduces election\u2011cycle weaponisation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the full discussion to hear a rare, unfiltered perspective on why reform has stalled, and what it will take to move beyond short\u2011term fixes towards a funding model that is fair, credible, and sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f56a869c wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\" style=\"margin: 0 !important\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rldatix.com\/en-uki\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/Nikki-Walker.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9831\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:80px;height:80px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Nikki Walker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">President \u2013 Social Care Solutions at RLDatix<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f56a869c wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\" style=\"margin: 0 !important\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rldatix.com\/en-uki\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/04\/Rt-Hon-Damian.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9831\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:80px;height:80px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Rt Hon Damian Green<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Chair of the Social Care Foundation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a candid and deeply informed discussion, Damian Green, Chair of the Social Care Foundation&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":9949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[213],"tags":[358],"class_list":["post-10484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-videos","tag-social-care","primary-category-videos"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Budget and Beyond: Finding a Sustainable Funding Model for Care | RLDatix<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Health &amp; care resources from RLDatix: The Budget and Beyond: Finding a Sustainable Funding Model for Care.
