Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress his Department has made on implementing the recommendations in the report by Red Quadrant entitled Building the Right Support: An analysis of funding flows, published in July 2022.

We recognise the need to improve how data is collected and better understand the specific costs related to Building the Right Support. That is why the Building the Right Support Delivery Board set up a Funding Flows task and finish group to look at how to improve national oversight of National Health Service and local authority spend.

The Funding Flows task and finish group has been assessing the feasibility of collating information from existing NHS and Local Government datasets to support this and will make recommendations for next steps to the Building the Right Support Delivery Board in due course.
