Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the finding of Scope and the Disabled Children’s Partnership’s report entitled The Gap Widens, published in October 2021, that there is a £573 million funding gap in disabled children’s social care, what estimate his Department has made of the funding gap in disabled children’s social care.

I refer the hon. Member for City of Durham, to the answer I gave on 20 October 2021 to Question 56976.
