UCU: Crisis in the NHS and Social Care

Motion

Motion text: Congress notes:
1. the crises in both the NHS and social care throughout the UK;
2. that better services for health and care service users depends on better pay and conditions, and better education provision, training and career development, for health and care workers;
3. the expertise and experience of UCU members in health and social care education, research and provision, which represents a valuable resource.
Congress therefore recommends that the NEC organises a conference to bring together diverse strands within and outside the union to advocate and organise for improved provision of health and social care. The conference should involve people and organisations with professional and policy interests within health and social care.
