Hornsey & Wood Green CLP & Haringey Keep Our NHS Public welcome all members to this Zoom meeting on Thursday 4 March at 7pm.

You can access the Zoom link from your email Social Care Zoom meeting.

Social care is at breaking point – and Covid 19 highlighted its Cinderella status, which the government’s latest announcements do nothing to improve. It could be so different – as other countries have proved – it doesn’t cost the earth, and Labour needs to make the case – for care as social infrastructure investment – good for people, and good for the economy.

Join the panel to debate how to:

• achieve a properly funded Care service
• improve its care, quality and availability
• make caring a good career
• and consider next steps for Labour councils and the national party

Sarah Owen MP, vice Chair APPG for Social Care
