英国首相安迪·伯纳姆提出建立国家护理服务,在使用时免费,以解决英格兰“捉襟见肘”的社会护理服务问题。
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has proposed a national care service, free at the point of use, to tackle England's "threadbare" social care services.
在接受 BBC 劳拉·库恩斯伯格采访时,首相表示“破碎的社会护理最终将击垮 NHS”,并称他不会对此视而不见。
In an interview with BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, the prime minister said "broken social care will in the end break the NHS" and that he would not look in the other direction.
伯纳姆接着说,他将为新的国家护理服务制定清晰计划,并在下届大选时提交给公众评判。
Burnham went on to say that he will develop a clear plan for a new national care service that is then put to the public at the next general election.
影子内政大臣克里斯·菲尔普也接受了库恩斯伯格采访,他警告称“更多增税”可能是为资助该计划而计划的,这对保守党来说是一条“红线”。
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp, who also spoke to Kuenssberg, warned that "more tax rises" are likely planned to fund the scheme, which is a "red line" for the Conservatives
