Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the timetable is for the adult social care data framework in spring 2022.

We are committed to publishing a data framework for adult social care in spring 2022. Prior to publication, we are engaging with stakeholders across the adult social care sector on data needs and the standards that future collections should adhere to, which will be reflected in the framework.
