Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
What steps he is taking to improve social care.
Local authorities have a duty to ensure people receive appropriate care and support. We have given them access to up to £3.9 billion more dedicated funding for adult social care this year, and a further £410 million has been made available for adult and children’s services.
We will set out our plans to reform the social care system at the earliest opportunity to ensure it is sustainable for the future.
