The Society are urging the Government to report daily on the number of deaths in care homes.

The worldwide impact of coronavirus has been devastating. Lessons must be learned, and the vulnerability of people living in residential care homes needs to be recognised by Government.

Following the Government's newly announced social care strategy, read our view on what is included and what is missing.

The response comes after Matt Hancock's announcement that more testing will be provided in care homes.

Along with Marie Curie, Age UK, Care England and Independent Age, we are calling for the Government to publish a comprehensive plan to support social care through the coronavirus pandemic.

While the funding is a positive step forward, Kate Lee, CEO at Alzheimer's Society, says this is 'a drop in the ocean' for what's needed.
