Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the timetable is for the upcoming Green Paper on adult social care to publish recommendations; and what the timescale is for bringing forward legislative proposals as a result of that Green Paper.
The Government has committed to publishing a Green Paper by summer 2018, setting out its proposals for reform.
Ahead of the Green Paper’s publication, the Government is working with experts, stakeholders and people using care and support services, including for people suffering from dementia, to shape social care reform in the near and longer term.
