Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will make it his policy to consult with (a) disabled people, (b) carers and (c) social care providers during the planned consultation on social care.
We will work to address the challenges of social care for our ageing population, bringing forward proposals for consultation to build widespread support.
The Government wants to hear a range of views from members of the public, representative groups, commissioners, providers, those using services and carers as its shapes its thinking.
This is why we have set out our intention to consult and will set out more detail shortly.
