Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether his planned consultation on social care will include consultation on the needs of working-age disabled people; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 11 September 2017 to Question 8610.

The Government understands that there are specific challenges in relation to funding and quality of care for people of working age, and their carers. We will continue to carefully consider how best to support people of working age with care and support needs, alongside older people.
