Burnham pledges to fight next election on social care reform

Original: UK's Burnham pledges to fight next election on social care reform

Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, says he will make social care reform a central pledge at the next election, according to Reuters. Burnham has long campaigned for overhaul of England's funding and provision of adult social care, an issue successive governments have promised but failed to resolve. The announcement puts pressure on national political parties ahead of the next UK general election.

Why now: Social care reform is a long-unresolved UK policy issue and Burnham is seen as a potential Labour leadership contender, making the pledge newsworthy
