Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to publish proposals on social care reform.

Putting social care on a sustainable footing, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, is one of the biggest challenges we face as a society. As the Prime Minister has said, the Government will bring forward a plan for social care this year.

The Government will seek to build cross-party consensus and will outline next steps shortly.
