A Guardian report on England's adult social care previews Louise Casey's warning to a services conference that "no one is in charge" of a chaotic patchwork of local provision, calling the pandemic treatment of care homes a national shame and agreeing with the Covid-19 inquiry's findings. Casey, leading the government's social care review, is expected to call for a "new settlement" for care, while Andy Burnham pursues a national care service and the prime minister plans to fund free personal care by scrapping the pension triple lock.
