BREAKING: Andy Burnham says he is going to "rip the plaster off" to fix broken social care system.
New system will be universal, free at the point of use, and funded by everybody, he says, and Labour will fight next general election on delivering it.
PM says annual cost is "not as high" as the £18bn a year that has been suggested - and that he will take his time to work out how it will be paid for.
"The challenge in public finances is real so it has to be done carefully to avoid putting pressure on the public purse," he tells @bbclaurak

“I will put that [social care] plan to the public at a general election”

Cllr Colin Noble @askcolinnoble says the government needs to understand the consequence of not fixing social care - the NHS will fall over.

@leicesterliz at @The_FSCC committing to valuing social care’s role in supporting the whole country. We can’t get economy growing if people can’t work, can’t fix NHS if people stuck in hospital or fix child poverty if care worker pay not improved
@leicesterliz
“The issue of #SocialCare is a huge issue of equality, of social justice and a huge issue for women.
Care has always been undervalued because it is something that women do.. I say no more!”
