00:00How quickly can you deliver change for people? Can that happen in the next couple of years?
00:04I think it's about being prepared to grasp the nettle.
00:08It'll take time, won't it?
00:10Well, you know, I've got personal experience of the system at the moment.
00:13My dad has Alzheimer's and you see, you know, what the staff have to put up with it.
00:18It's not their fault. The system's broken.
00:21You can't leave for social care like this.
00:23And this is part of my criticism of Westminster.
00:26It has flinched over the years from these big decisions.
00:30I tried to reform social care in 2010.
00:33In the end, it will require something difficult.
00:35But I think the British public would rather you kind of face them and said,
00:39you know what, we can't leave it like this.
00:41And in fact, the NHS won't get back to where it needs to be
00:45when you have a broken social care system that can't keep people out of hospital.
00:49So, you know, this is massive when it comes to the things that people care about.
00:54And I'm not going to do what Westminster has traditionally done,
00:58which is to kick the can down the road on this important issue.
01:01I will expend political capital on bringing forward a plan to fix social care.
01:06And I'm not going to waste time because every time that we waste another year,
01:11thousands and thousands of more people don't get the care that they need.
01:15But I feel like a lot of people Deshalb have Abraham Calvin have done this work Сер PM,
01:15because I'm going to leave it here.
