Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when he plans to publish details of the scope of the planned consultation on social care.

We will work to address the challenges of social care for our ageing population, bringing forward proposals for consultation to build widespread support.

We will provide further details on the next steps on social care in due course.

The Government is committed to listening to people’s views on how to reform the social care system, to ensure it is sustainable for current and future generations and that the quality of care improves. Further information on this will be made available shortly.
