  "account": "London — Andy Burnham announced on Wednesday that the government will unveil its 10-year plan before the United Kingdom parliament takes a break for Christmas on December 17. In the House of Commons, the prime minister expressed his resolve to provide the nation with the stability it lacked under the Conservative administration, and the leadership it requires. Burnham pledged that ministers will \"present our plan for Britain to this house before it rises for the Christmas recess.\"\n\nThe prime minister's remarks came in response to speculation about the timing of the highly anticipated document, which is seen as crucial to the government's agenda. Last week, Burnham revealed to the Economist that there was no definitive timeline for the plan's release, and \"we may go into the new year, to be honest.\" The Sunday Times reported that the plan will be segmented into three parts — \"growing up,\" \"getting on\" and \"growing old\" — each focusing on the government's role throughout the different stages of an individual's life.\n\nBurnham informed MPs that the plan would be presented to the Commons next month and would \"lay a new path for this country, breaking with the failed policies of the party opposite.\" He further stated that the plan would provide \"a path for this country to go forward.\" The prime minister highlighted that the plan would include a proposal for a national care service and that cross-party discussions on adult social care would take place \"before the end of the year.\"",
