Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether guidance on housing-with-care provision will be introduced via the task force on older people’s housing announced in the Levelling Up White Paper.

There are currently no plans to introduce new guidance specifically on housing-with-care provision. The new taskforce on older people’s housing announced on 2 February 2022 will build on the commitments set out in the adult social care reform white paper. The taskforce will review ways to provide more choice, better quality and greater security of housing for older people and support the growth of a thriving older people's housing sector, including housing-with-care.
