Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has plans to establish additional dementia care facilities in Solihull constituency.

The Government is making available up to £2.8 billion of additional funding for social care in 2023/24 and £4.7 billion in 2024/25 to support local authorities with adult social care and discharge, the biggest funding increase in history.

Local authorities are best placed to plan for the care and support needs of their local population. That is why, under the Care Act 2014, local authorities are required to shape their local markets, to ensure a diverse range of high quality, sustainable, person-centred care and support services are available to meet the needs of the local population, including those with dementia.
