Families bereaved by coronavirus have set out the key areas they say the public inquiry must address as they wait to be consulted by the Government.

The Government must urgently stabilise the sector with emergency funds, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services says.

But there are concerns residents’ rights are still being curtailed.

The NHS Race and Health Observatory consulted over summer on how best to collectively refer to black, Asian and minority ethnic groups.

NHS England figures also showed about seven in ten care home staff have not had a booster jab yet.

Three in 10 care workers said that staffing levels are dangerously low, getting worse and negatively affecting care quality, the Unison survey found.

The Trussell Trust handed out 935,749 parcels over the six months to October 2021, with more than a third going to children.

There were 1,020 deaths involving Covid-19 in England and Wales registered in the week ending November 12, the Office for National Statistics said.

The Government has proposed an £86,000 lifetime cap, but critics say recent changes will disproportionately affect poorer care recipients.

The Conservative MP said the recent change to how the cap will be calculated is ‘really disappointing’.

The number of calls about child sexual abuse concerns has risen by more than a third in a year, the NSPCC said.

Children as young as seven are at risk of child marriage, according to a charity which supports victims of honour-based violence.

Sir Andrew Dilnot, who led a review into the future of funding social care a decade ago, said those with less assets ‘will not see any benefit’.

NHS figures show the number of home staff in England dropped in the seven days to November 14.

The Government plans to amend the Care Act to ensure the new reforms are clear, subject to parliamentary approval.

The Government has not confirmed whether the Afghan Citizens’ Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) will start before next March.

More than 1.9 million households, containing more than 3.5 million children and teenagers, received the benefit in August, Government figures show.

Some 995 deaths registered in England and Wales in the week ending November 5 mentioned Covid-19 on the death certificate, ONS data shows.

This includes more than 56,000 registered care home staff, who must be double jabbed to continue working in care homes from Thursday.
