Yes! Social care has been underfunded for long enough - our system urgently needs ring-fenced funding & reform. The first NI Citizens' Assembly made several recommendations for adult social care reform 👉 bit.ly/3hXGmn3 @CA4NI

Problems that are complex, values-based, long-term are best suited to citizen problem-solving, says participatory democracy expert @ClaudiaChwalisz.
Meaning: Trust your citizens + hold more deliberative processes on issues of justice, culture, and structural reform. #delibwave

This new @theRSAorg report - "Reimagining the future of health and social care" - calls for @DHSCgovuk to establish a People's Health and Social Care Commission
“To create change in the health and social care system that supports all citizens, we recommend a People’s Health and Social Care Commission. This would make sure large-scale change is people-led.” thersa.org/discover/publicat…
This is revealing of low trust in the public’s ability to handle complex information and highlights the need for more deliberative opportunities for people to have a say in how crises are handled.
