In a BBC interview on Sunday, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham proposed a free NHS-style social care system for England, to be presented at the next general election. He acknowledged potential tax rises but suggested savings could be found in the welfare budget. The plan follows his father's experience with Alzheimer's and aims to address unfairness in the current system. Baroness Casey will review the proposals, with findings due next summer. Political opponents, including the Conservatives, have criticized the plan as a tax increase.
