  The majority of MPs voted against providing additional funds for social care sooner. 
  
  The motion rejected by the majority of MPs was:
  
  :That this House
  :''notes'' the serious concerns expressed about the social care system, including by the Local Government Association, The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and the Care Quality Commission;
  :''calls on the Government'' to urgently bring forward promised funding to address the current funding crisis and to put in place a longer-term settlement to ensure that the social care system is sustainable going forward; and
  :''further calls'' on the Government to ensure that the most vulnerable in society are guaranteed the adequate and sustainable care they deserve.
  
  
  During the debate the MP who moved the motion, Barbara Keeley, (Labour, Worsley and Eccles South) indicated[1] the promised funding referred to relates to the "Better Care Fund", funding for social care in local councils, planned to be at Â£1.5bn by 2019-20.[2] 
  
  Social care includes personal care and practical assistance provided for people in need, this could be required because of age, illness, disability, or a range of other circumstances.[3]
