If you happen to work in the sector of private nursing, homecare or if you work with social workers who offer bespoke care packages then you should know that lately, things have happened to affect the mental health of staff members. Right now there is an enquiry going on into the pandemic and it hopes to find out the reason why social care was forgotten. A lot of workers are determined to make sure that social care is not forgotten about again, while making sure that more is done to try and stop the country from going back. Thousands of lives were lost in the care sector and in nursing homes, not to mention that people are desperate for lessons to be learnt. Right now, there is an urgent plan that revolves around the social health reform. The public enquiry is underway and they have said that things could be done faster. Mike Padgham has said that priorities have changed and that it is imperative to make sure that social care is prioritised where possible. It’s important to make sure that the pandemic is not forgotten about.

Right now, the impact of the pandemic is not due to be examined until next year, especially in the care sector. This is way off as it doesn’t give people the chance to learn lessons or to get the right improvements done. It’s important to make sure that the enquiry is shortened where possible and that the results are reported quickly. If this can be done then it will help to make sure that everything is as it should be and that people are able to get the care they need without compromise. Only time will tell what the future holds but right now it seems that more has to be done to make sure that history doesn’t repeat itself.
