Andy Burnham has said it is 'shameful' that politicians have failed to fix social care in England, and announced he is fast-tracking a review by Louise Casey to bring substantial change. Speaking at an event, the prime minister said the blame rests with his generation of politicians, who have neglected the issue for nearly two decades. Burnham, who first campaigned for reform almost 20 years ago, noted he had watched his own family member receive care, which gave him a new perspective on the system. He praised the professionalism and skill of care workers. Burnham also referenced the success of getting everyone off the streets, arguing that difficult goals can be achieved in the country. He said he wants to bring 'substantial change' to social care. The fast-tracking of Casey's review signals urgency. BBC Verify has examined possible options, though Burnham did not outline specific policies. The review is expected to propose measures to improve care quality and funding. Louise Casey is a former government adviser on social care. Burnham's comments come as part of a broader push to address a long-standing issue that has challenged successive governments. No specific timeline for the review's completion has been given.
