The Comprehensive Spending Review
July 1, 2025
The forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review comes as the adult social care sector still reels from the impacts of the increase in and extension to Employers National Insurance Contributions which have placed further financial strain on providers while demand for services continues to grow. Meanwhile the Casey Commission's work towards creating social care reform has just begun. In this webinar, Liz Jones, Policy Director at the National Care Forum will chair a discussion looking into the implications of the spending review for social care. She will be joined by Camille Oung, Fellow from Nuffield Trust who will talk through their analysis. Also joining the discussion are NCF members Jim Kane, CEO of Community Integrated Care, Leanne Blackwood, Director of Finance at Sanctuary Care, and Laura Catchpole, Corporate & Public Affairs Manager at MHA who will share their real world perspectives on what further limitations on funding will mean for providers, their staff and the people they support.
