But the Prime Minister would not put a timeline on introducing care reforms, in his first major interview since he walked into No 10.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Burnham said the NHS will never get back “to good waiting time standards until we fix social care”.
He added: “I can’t put a timeline on it right here, right now.
“If we don’t do it, the NHS will collapse under the weight of trying to care for people who’ve really not really needed to end up in the in the NHS system.”
