Call You and Yours: What's it like in the care system right now in your experience?

It's a similar story in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Waits for hospital beds are at record highs because patients can't be discharged for care in the community.

Half a million people are now waiting for council-funded care in England alone - an increase from just under 300,000 in a year.

Staff shortages are causing major problems - do you run or work in a care home? Do you or someone you love need care?

What's it like in the care system right now in your experience?
