To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what support the Government is providing to local authorities to help with recruitment to the adult social care sector.

On 21 October 2021, the Department announced a new £162.5 million workforce recruitment and retention fund to support local authorities working with providers to recruit and retain staff this winter. Our next national recruitment campaign for adult social care will be launched in early November and we are also working alongside Department for Work and Pensions to promote adult social care careers in job centres.
