A minimum national tariff for adult social care is urgently needed to avoid further bed blocking in the NHS and to reduce insolvencies, but without it, adult social care in the UK will be unviable.

There are not enough GPs to tackle the burden of non-communicable diseases
The current state of primary healthcare is ill-equipped to handle the increase of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), with the shortage of GPs and the 9-minute consultation model putting patients at risk.
