NEW: Writing in the @bmj.com, @natashacurry.bsky.social says it is in all our interests for Andy Burnham’s social care reforms to be successful. The PM has demonstrated he is aware of the urgency of the issue, but he will need to keep the public onside. www.bmj.com/content/394/...

@natashacurry.bsky.social says the PM is absolutely right to start a conversation about social care and to accelerate Baroness Casey's review of the system. Getting the public onside will be essential, as other countries show us that change is possible when reform gains public backing.

Our new analysis out today looks at the deteriorating finances of NHS trusts. NHS trusts consume over 75% of the English NHS budget, so if you want to know how the NHS is coping with its current funding, your starting point should be the doubling of the trust overspend to £1.2bn by March 2024 >>
