Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, when his Department plans to publish the (a) consultation on improving social care and (b) green paper on social care funding.

The Government will work to address the challenges of social care for our ageing population, bringing forward proposals for consultation to build widespread support. We are committed to listening to people’s views on how to reform the social care system, to ensure it is sustainable for current and future generations and that the quality of care improves.

We will provide further details on the next steps on social care in due course.
