Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, wither reference to the debate on Covid-19: Effect on retirement communities held in Westminster Hall on 1 July 2021, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of establishing a task force to expand housing-with-care options.

We are engaging closely with the sector and a range of stakeholders to consider the merits of different models, including proposals for a cross-Government taskforce.
