Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much of the extra money for social care announced on 7 September will go to pay for (1) the cap, and (2) the revised means test; and how much will go to improving care provision for those in need.

Allocations and profiles will be confirmed as part of the forthcoming Spending Review, which will set out the Government’s spending plans for health and social care for future years. We will work with care users, providers and other partners to develop a white paper for reform later this year.
