Three key points are:

• New action plan to reduce outbreaks in care homes, support care staff and providers and maintain independence of those receiving care
• Plans to boost access to PPE, ramp up testing for care sector and recruit more staff
• Unifying new ‘care’ brand for care workers with NHS-style identity, to ensure recognition and access to benefits during crisis and in response to ask from sector
