Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much funding they set aside to implement the cap on care costs, as previously scheduled for 2020; whether that money has been spent; and if so, how.

Spending decisions are taken to reflect Government priorities and in light of the evolving fiscal position. We will set out any changes in due course. The Government will publish the Social Care Green Paper by Summer 2018 setting out its proposals for reform, in order to build a sustainable and quality care system for all.
