MP for Kingswood Chris Skidmore writes about his Free Enterprise Group paper The Social Market: Fixing a Broken System for the Telegraph, discussing how Britain can improve its social care system so hospital admissions that are not of utmost necessity can be prevented. Skidmore also makes a case for the personalisation of social care for the elderly, presenting Germany’s own system as evidence. The Kingswood MP sets a point forward for dividing social care needs and making direct payments to the elder and their families as opposed to council-managed budgets.
