Casey signals openness to private care providers, contrasting with Starmer's reported exclusion plan

Baroness Louise Casey, leading the Independent Commission on Adult Social Care, is launching a national "Big Conversation" consultation. She told the Today programme there is "room for mixed market" in social care, but not "profiteering out of misery." This appears to contrast with The Times reporting that PM Starmer wants to exclude privately run nursing home chains from England's reform to prevent taxpayers' money subsidising private equity profits.
