Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when the new task force on older people’s housing announced in the Levelling Up White Paper will hold its first meeting.

As part of the Levelling Up White Paper, we have now announced a new taskforce to look at ways we can provide greater choice, quality and security of housing for older people, and support the growth of a thriving older people's housing sector. This includes considering how to increase the supply of a range of specialist housing, including housing with care, across the country.

This work will be taken forwards in partnership with the Department of Health and Social Care, with secretariat provided by officials from both departments.

Further details regarding panel membership, as well as the timing and frequency of meetings will be confirmed in due course.
