英国新首相安迪·伯纳姆承诺对该国社会护理系统进行全面改革，称其状况"如同美国医疗体系一样不公平，脆弱者为一切付出代价"1。他将这一现象描述为数十年来政治家的"重大失职"1，并表示准备承担改革所带来的政治风险，包括可能的税收增加1。
伯纳姆计划与反对党合作建立"国家护理服务"1，并邀请反对党领导人参与讨论1。社会福利专家路易丝·凯西将主持"大对话"，听取公众对改革的意见1。工党承诺增加护理工人的薪酬、培训和地位1。
这一议题对伯纳姆具有个人意义——他的父亲患有阿尔茨海默病1。伯纳姆在2009年担任卫生部长期间曾提出社会护理改革方案1。他此前在大曼彻斯特担任市长十年，近期才重返英国政府1。
Andy Burnham, Britain's new Prime Minister, has committed to overhauling the nation's social care system, which he characterizes as fundamentally flawed.1 Burnham stated that he views social care in the United Kingdom as inequitable, declaring: "I think British social care is as unfair as American healthcare. The vulnerable pay the price for everything."1 He plans to establish a "National Care Service" through cross-party collaboration and has invited opposition leaders to participate in discussions, signaling his willingness to assume political risk for the reform, potentially including tax increases.1
The new Prime Minister brings personal motivation to the issue, as his father lives with Alzheimer's disease.1 Burnham previously proposed social care reforms during his tenure as Health Secretary in 2009, and he has returned to government after a decade serving as Mayor of Greater Manchester.1 To advance the initiative, welfare expert Louise Casey will lead a "big conversation" to gather public input on the reform agenda.1 The Labour government has committed to improving compensation, training, and status for care workers as part of its broader reform strategy.1
