Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to Scope and the Disabled Children’s Partnership’s report entitled The Gap Widens, published in October 2021, which found that there is a £573 million funding gap in disabled children’s social care, what fiscal steps his Department is planning to take to support all families with a disabled child to access respite care and take short breaks.

I refer the hon. Member for Stockton North to the answer I gave on 20 October 2021 to Question 56976.
