Care Homes
(asked on 26th June 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of why there are over 90 empty care homes in England.
This question was answered on 3rd July 2023
The Department does not monitor or publish data on the number of empty care homes within England. Adult social care services are provided through a largely outsourced market of commercial organisations and charities. Local authorities have a duty to promote the efficient and effective operation of their local adult social care market and are best placed to understand and plan for the care needs of their populations.
