Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Caroline Dinenage and Kevin Hollinrake

Tuesday 18th June 2019 Commons Chamber

[Kevin Hollinrake (Thirsk and Malton) (Con)]

Will the Secretary of State support one of the key recommendations of the joint report from the Health and Social Care Committee and the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee into the future funding of social care, which is for a German-style system of social insurance?

[Caroline Dinenage]

Absolutely. We are very keen to look at the Select Committees’ recommendations and the contributions of all key stakeholders. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to the care and support we need. The Green Paper will include ideas to protect people from high and unpredictable care costs.
