Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the studies from Deloitte, Frontier Economics and LaingBuisson on the effect of sleep-in back payments on the social care sector will (a) include and (b) publish information on the financial impact for the Brighton and Hove Council area.

The Deloitte and Frontier Economics and LaingBuisson studies into sleep-in back pay liabilities form part of the evidence base that is being used to assess options and are subject to further analysis and refinement. Consequently, we currently have no plans to share a summary of either report.
