2016 is too late for care funding - Lord Warner

Voicing the concerns of many who felt that help was needed before 2016, Warner , who was formerly a member of the Dilnot commission, said: "Promising a brave new future under this Bill without adequate funding for implementing the new system would be a cruel deception to inflict on many vulnerable people."

The Labour peer claimed that inadequate funding for care services was responsible for the current crisis in accident and emergency (A&E) departments across the country.
