In this written submission to the House of Commons Health and Social Care Select Committee, we provide an overview of the resilience of the NHS and social care workforce, including the impact of Covid-19.

In October 2020, The King’s Fund and UCL Institute of Health Equity submitted a paper to NHS England and NHS Improvement highlighting the limitations in both the coverage and quality of ethnicity recording of people using NHS health and care services in England and suggesting how this can be improved.

Our submission highlights some of the key pressures and challenges the social care sector is facing and sets out some reforms the government could make to address these issues.

The King's Fund produced this briefing ahead of the second reading of the NHS Funding Bill in the House of Commons.

The urgent action needed to stabilise general practice, by addressing workload and workforce issues, raises important questions around the timing, implementation and pace of these new service specifications even though the overall direction they set out is the right one.

While we welcome the Care Bill as an important stepping stone to wider reform of care and support, it will not deliver the change needed to meet future health and care needs.

This submission considers the financial pressures the NHS is currently under and will continue to face in the coming years.

This briefing note was sent to the Committee ahead of an oral evidence session on 9 January 2013, where Richard Humphries gave evidence on behalf of the Fund.

In this briefing for the Debate in the House of Commons, we set out our thoughts on the future of social care, the Dilnot Commission and how the integration of health and social care could be implemented.

This report from The King's Fund and Nuffield Trust is intended to support the Department of Health's development of a national strategy on integrated health and social care.
