Health Secretary Steve Barclay defends delay to social care cap The health secretary has defended the delay to a cap on care costs in England, saying it will allow more funding for social care.
Under the plans people would have paid no more than £86,000 towards their personal care during their lifetime.
Steve Barclay said the delay was a "difficult decision" but the government was committed to the reforms.
He told the BBC the extra funding would help with discharging people from hospitals more quickly. BBC News
