00:00Prime Minister Andy Burnham says social care reform is essential, warning the NHS could
00:06collapse without major changes. In his first major interview since taking office, Burnham
00:12said fixing the system would be one of his biggest priorities, although he would not
00:17promise a timetable. The government is expected to speed up an independent review examining
00:23future options for adult social care in England. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says any
00:29reforms must protect people who have saved throughout their lives and should not rely
00:35on higher taxes or extra borrowing. Social care reportedly remains one of Westminster's
00:41most difficult unresolved policy challenges.
