Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to take steps to bring forward legislative proposals to introduce free comprehensive adult social care.
This question was answered on 26th October 2021
On 7 September, the Government announced major reforms to funding for social care. From October 2023, we will introduce a more generous means testing regime, as well as cap on costs. This means that no one in England will have to pay more than £86,000 in care costs over the course of their lifetime.
