We can carry on passing the problem to the next generation, or we can face it head on and work together to build a care system that gives people dignity, security and the support they deserve.”Follow below for all the latest updates‌View PostToday07:44 BSTWhat has Burnham said about social care reform?Andy Burnham previously warned "the NHS will collapse" if social care is not reformed.Speaking to the BBC last week, Burnham said he did not want to leave office without making major changes to the social care system.He added that if there was no reform of social care the NHS would "collapse under the weight of trying to care for people who've not needed to end up in the NHS system."Burnham said he wanted to "draw a line under people playing politics" with social care.He continued: "Last week I said we needed a different kind of politics: problem-solving, not point-scoring."Nowhere is that more urgent than social care.
