Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what processes are in place to independently verify claims of exempt accommodation providers that residents have not been engaging with the care and support services they are contractually obliged to provide.

Supported Housing provides a vital service to some of the most vulnerable people in society and the care, support or supervision they are provided with helps them to live as independently as possible in the community.

Local authorities are responsible for the oversight of supported housing in their respective areas. The Government does not oversee the delivery of support services or individual engagement with those services.
