Councils will not be able to fix recruitment and retention issues afflicting social care services if they do not have enough money to ensure staff are paid properly, MPs have warned.
Changes proposed under the government’s Health and Social Care White Paper could be “destabilised” without fully funded reforms of the social care sector, MPs have warned.
