Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on the (a) forthcoming Housing White Paper and (b) delivery of retirement housing across all tenures.
Discussions have taken place between officials at the two departments regarding the forthcoming White Paper, and the opportunities around ageing, health and care. I have also made more formal representations to the Department for Communities and Local Government. Hence, the dialogue is ongoing.
