Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to page 31 of the NHS Long Term Plan, published in January 2019, what additional social care funding the Government plans to provide to meet the commitment that adult social care funding does not impose any additional pressure on the NHS over the coming five years.
Funding for adult social care in future years will be settled in the Spending Review where the overall approach to funding local government will be considered.
