Andy Burnham is reigniting the push for a universal national care service in England, promising fairer pay, better training, and tighter NHS integration — even willing to consider tax hikes to make it work. Drawing on his personal experience with his father’s Alzheimer’s, he’s rallying for a system that eases the crushing financial and emotional burden on families — and could ultimately save the NHS money. Though he first proposed this in 2009, facing fierce backlash then, Burnham is now forging cross-party deals to build consensus. With Baroness Casey’s delayed review now fast-tracked for next summer, the focus is shifting to workforce reform — and whether Britain can finally deliver a care system that works for everyone.
