Families should not have to exhaust a lifetime of savings while private equity extracts profit from social care. Jack Abbott MP argues that a new National Care Service must put co-operative and not-for-profit care at its heart, putting people before profit.

Co-operative ideas ran through Labour Conference. From businesses owned by workers and communities to community-owned energy and new models for public services, Labour made the case for sharing power and ownership.

80% of England's largest care home providers are owned or backed by private equity. Every pound taken out for investors is a pound not spent on pay, staffing or care. That's why we're calling for care firms owned and run as co-ops to play a bigger part in the UK's social care system.

Public control and public ownership are not the same thing! Water in England is already in public control. That's why we need PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
Infographic showing the difference between public control and public ownership. Public control - Government regulation decides on prices and services provided. Public ownership - local, regional or national ownership by the public, all profits reinvested. Deregulation (ie zero public control) makes your services even worse. Adding accountability to citizens/households can make services better.

£1.5bn is stripped out of social care every year as private profit. £1 in every £10. It doesn't have to be like this. Our new report sets out the co-operative alternative: care built on reinvestment, and recommends workers have the right to buy out their firms.
