Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what her planned timetable is to respond to the report entitled Leadership for a collaborative and inclusive future, published on 8 June 2022.

Leadership for a Collaborative and Inclusive Future made seven recommendations, which were accepted by the Government. NHS England is leading on implementation of all seven recommendations, with progress made on all the recommendations, and is working in partnership with Skills for Care, where they apply to the social care workforce.

A Review Implementation Office (RIO), comprising of stakeholders from across the Department, NHS England, NHS Employers, Skills for Care, and local government, is providing oversight for the implementation of recommendations one and two, which apply across both health and social care.
