Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to establish a royal commission on social care.

The Government is determined to tackle the challenges facing adult social care. We want everyone to live an independent, dignified life, which is why we are committed to reform and will take steps to create a National Care Service.

We will be setting out more detail of our priorities for adult social care in due course.
