Persist and survive
We will get through and beyond the ‘six-month wall’ and survive this crisis by working together and looking out for each other, says president of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services James Bullion.
We need to set up a social care system that’s stronger than COVID-19,
James Bullion says 'we might have expected 16,000 deaths of people in care homes in an ordinary year at the time of writing; in fact, we have seen 40,000'. The time has come to prioritise and protect social care for all our sakes, he adds.
The new frontline of the COVID-19 battle
The new president of ADASS James Bullion calls on the Government and the NHS to protect social care at all costs - and says they need to support the coordination of integrated local approaches to testing, led by councils in partnership with the NHS.
