Read the original article on mirror.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Mirror reports Baroness Casey's speech saying successive governments have been asleep at the wheel on social care, with findings from research her team commissioned and the Prime Minister's plans for a free service. Claims, figures and criticisms are attributed to Casey, her report or the Covid Inquiry, and the headline's words come from her speech. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“People paying for their own care are being charged, on average, 40 per cent more for the same service than people for whom care is arranged by their council, the report found.”
The figure comes with its comparison, says it is an average and names its source, so the reader knows what is measured and who found it.
“the official probe found Government failures allowed Covid to spread like wildfire in care homes and rejected the then-Health Secretary Matt Hancock's claim that a "protective ring" had been thrown around the sector”
The Mirror attributes the finding to the inquiry and makes clear that Hancock's protective ring line was a claim the inquiry rejected. It does not leave his line standing as fact.
“Baroness Casey will say today”
The opening sentence ties the asleep at the wheel charge to the person making it, so the headline's quoted words have a named source in the body.
