A new path for Britain can only be built on greater public control of the essentials.

A National Care Service based on NHS principles, where everyone contributes and everyone is covered.

The National Care Service. The triple lock. Water regulation.
You've got questions. @andyburnham's got answers.

In the next Parliament, Labour will build a National Care Service. This will be the biggest change to the provision of care in Britain since we established our NHS in the 1940s.
At Labour Party Conference, Prime Minister Andy Burnham explained why.
Everyone knows that Britain’s social care system is broken. And for decades, politicians have failed to fix it. That’s left millions of older people facing care costs which are too much to bear, and living in conditions which are not up to scratch.
It’s also increased pressure on our NHS. Visit any hospital and you will see the impact: older people who should be supported at home forced into A&E, and beds occupied by people who could leave hospital, but can’t get access to the help they need as they recover.
We won’t let this system continue.
So, the Labour way of looking after older people in our country will be a fundamental change.
By setting up a National Care Service, we’ll build a way of delivering care with the same principles as the NHS: where everyone contributes and everyone is covered.
Older people will be able to access good quality, free personal care with support for their needs. And our National Care Service will deliver care in the home wherever possible, giving older people the respect they deserve.
We’ll pay for it by adjusting the triple lock.
The triple lock will stay the same throughout this parliament. Labour pledged it in our manifesto and we’ll keep that promise.
From April 2030, we’ll adjust it, but it will always continue to rise. We will guarantee that the state pension will rise every year by either inflation or by 2.5% - whichever is higher.
Nobody’s pension will go down, and the state pension will be on a sustainable footing for the years to come.
We will start laying the groundwork for the National Care Service now, and introduce it in the next Parliament.
So this is Labour’s deal.
A state pension that rises every year.
And a high-quality National Care Service to give peace of mind in later life.

A National Care Service free at point of use will remove the horrific burden faced by families and loved ones at the end of life .

A new National Care Service. Greater public control of water, energy, and housing. A National Commission on Electoral Reform. Strengthening our relationship with Europe. Reforming the education and welfare system.
Today I set out a different path for Britain.
You may disagree with some or all of what I have said today. But I have given you what you often say is missing from politics.
Honesty, ideas and a clear direction for the country we all love.
If you agree with enough of what I have said, get behind this plan. And get behind each other.
It's time to draw a line.
To move beyond a decade of drift and division.
To bring a spirit of unity and positivity back to our country.
To unlock the working-class aspiration that is still there in every postcode.
To hope again.

When my mum passed away three years ago, it was with family, friends and amazing carers at her bedside.
We owe the people who work in care - and the people and families that rely on them - this level of ambition.
If carried on, “broken social care will break the NHS too,” Andy Burnham says
“There is only one real answer - a person-centred high-quality care service that starts in the home,” he adds, before outlining his National Care Service pledge
