Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to set up a cross-government task force alongside the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to examine how housing-based social care options can be expanded to provide more choice to older people.
The Department of Health and Social Care, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and local government are committed to further improving the diversity of housing options available to older people, including housing-with-care and are engaging closely with both the sector and a range of other stakeholders on this issue.
