Fabian Society general secretary Andrew Harrop is the co-author of a major report commissioned by Labour and Unison last year on what a National Care Service should look like.

The report made 48 recommendations to transform adult social care, including making care available for everyone – regardless of means, giving people control and choice over the support they get, a fair workplace settlement and end-to-end support under a shared brand delivered together by national government, local councils and licensed care providers.
