Royal College of Physicians responds to Office for Statistics Regulation's review of adult social care

“Today’s report once again shows the need for the government to get to grips with social care. If we are to plan well for the future, we need a single source of high quality data.

“Social care is a key issue for both politicians and the public, which makes the under-investment and gaps in data collection even less understandable.

"If the prime minister is serious about fixing this problem and integrating health and social care, the government needs to make a financial investment and send a clear message to senior leaders about the importance of high quality data.”
