Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of the Government's Carers action plan 2018 to 2020, published on 5 June 2018; and whether that plan will be extended.

In July 2019 we published the ‘Carers action plan 2018 to 2020: 1-year progress review’ to demonstrate the progress the Carers Action Plan (CAP) had made so far and plan to publish a final report this summer following the conclusion of the CAP.

We are committed to continuing to work with all our stakeholders to consider the next steps after the publication of the final report.
