Burnham Proposes NHS-Style Free Social Care System

Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced plans for a universal social care system free at the point of use, funded by new taxes. He aims to include the proposal in Labour's next general election manifesto, citing the current system as 'as unfair as American healthcare'.
