Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord O'Shaughnessy on 5 December 2018 (HL11677), whether they plan to publish their considerations on the findings of the Local Government Association green paper for adult social care and wellbeing, published in November 2018; and if so, when.

The Government will consider closely the findings of the Local Government Association’s report as we bring forward proposals to reform the social care system.

In the development of the Green Paper on Adult Social Care we have noted the important contributions made by a number of recent reports, including the Local Government Association’s report. The Green Paper will be published at the earliest opportunity.
