I have no issue with ensuring that the NHS and social care "system" works more closely together but this just looks like a "Oh look it's failing - why don't we just take it over and run it" approach.Downing Street has drafted in David Cameron’s former policy chief Camilla Cavendish to help finalise proposals designed to honour Boris Johnson’s pledge to “fix the crisis in social care”.
Under plans being examined by Cavendish and ministers, the government would take responsibility for social care services away from councils in England – together with the £22.5bn in annual funding – and hand it to the NHS, the Guardian understands. On Monday night the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) denied it had plans to merge the two public services.
If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

Any sort of "second spike" at all and we are going to go over 50k deaths, and that's just the official figures.
