Wes Streeting yet to meet pledge to hold cross-party talks on social care crisis

Lib Dems and Tories say health secretary has failed to reach out to them for ideas on a solution, despite declaring he wanted to do so in the summer

Labour has made no contact with other parties over new talks to resolve England's social care crisis, amid fresh demands for a workable plan that secures cross-party support.

Wes Streeting, the health secretary, said over the summer that he was keen to hear ideas from across the political divide as part of a renewed attempt to make progress on a crisis that has remained unresolved for more than a decade.
