Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 9 January 2020 to Question 80 on Social Services, what the timetable is for cross-party talks on social care reform.
The Government will seek to build cross-party consensus and will outline next steps shortly.
Putting social care on a sustainable footing, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, is one of the biggest challenges we face as a society. As the Prime Minister has said, the Government will bring forward a plan for social care this year.
