Isn’t there anything more up to date? Things have changed radically in the past 16 years, so I doubt what was said in 2010 is terribly useful today tbh.

There was a piece on "Today" where they quoted him Whitewave. This was outlining what he is expected to say as he takes over - the speeches expected next week.

The Casey Commission is ongoing with a public consultation due to start soon so one would assume his policy is going to be built on those findings and eventual recommendations.

We shall see if he has anything specific to say on the subject in the speeches he is due to make later today:

I'd like this thread to focus on verifiable information about Andy Burnham's views and proposals for a National Care Service

The aim is to build a resource, a factual reference rather than an opinion thread.

So far we have:

• March 2010 – White Paper Building the National Care Service published.
• 30 March 2010 – Burnham introduces it in Parliament (Hansard).
• January 2015 – Burnham: "I want a single service... a national health and care service." (Hansard).
