The prime minister is due to make a big speech on Labour's election platform for health and social care at the King's Fund in London today.
As my colleague Jeremy pointed out on Friday, we're expecting something in reaction to the hostile amendments to the Personal Care at Home Bill that could end up wrecking government plans to introduce free care at home for people with high needs.
National newspaper coverage trailing the speech has focused on proposals to give cancer patients one-to-one care in their own homes with only the odd reference to the potential social care content (as the BBC has done). Plus ca change on that score I suppose.

All will be relieved shortly anyway so come back to our website later this morning for the full story.
