(asked on 28th August 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to increase the number of Departmental staff working on social care in the next six months.
This question was answered on 11th September 2020
In June 2020 the Department established a dedicated Social Care Group (SCG) to protect care recipients, carers/care workers and the care system itself from the impact of COVID-19 and ensure that everyone in receipt of care gets the care and support they need. The new SCG group has increased staff working on this area and, we will continue to keep staffing numbers under review.
