Andy Burnham says social care should help "my dad and the millions like him"

The article centers on the grief Andy Burnham feels over his father Roy, who had Alzheimer's disease. According to the piece, Roy was unaware that his child had reached the country's highest political office. That experience, it says, gave Burnham an intimate sense of the challenges confronting families and the support caregivers offer, and it helped fuel his commitment to change a system of social care the article says has long underserved many people. Burnham has voiced a desire to support his father and others in comparable situations. The piece suggests that enduring changes to that system would be the most fitting way to honor Roy's memory, with effects extending past his relatives.
