Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what incentives they are considering, if any, to encourage individuals to buy insurance policies to fund their social care costs in later years.

The government is committed to building consensus on the long-term reform needed to create a National Care Service. As the Health Secretary has previously said, we will set out next steps for a process that engages with stakeholders and across parties, and with people who draw on care and support. We will provide further information on this in due course.
