Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to consult disabled people regarding the separate strands of work on social care for disabled working-age adults that parallel those in the Social Care Green Paper for Older People.

The Government is taking forward a programme of work in parallel to the Social Care Green Paper which will focus on working age adults with care needs. We are currently developing plans for engaging stakeholders in this work.

We will ensure that the views of people who use social care services, including disabled working-age adults, closely inform this work as it progresses.
