Andy Burnham has suggested the introduction of a new tax on inheritances or estates, which he believes could generate billions of pounds to fund a social care system structured similarly to the National Health Service (NHS). Burnham stated that this system must be accessible to all, free at the point of use.
Burnham indicated that he is prepared for the proposal to be unpopular, emphasizing his commitment to the concept. The proposal is being presented to the public for discussion through The Morning Poll.
Final results from the poll are scheduled to be published in the Morning Mail newsletter tomorrow.
