Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the challenges faced by YoungDementia UK Homes in establishing a care home in Oxfordshire.

The charitable sector, including small charities, plays a critical and integral role in the delivery of local care and support services, and provides a broad range of services to different client groups. Charities’ unique understanding of local communities, and the needs of the specific client groups they serve, mean that they are in a position to provide tailored, high value services.

The Department has not made the specific assessments requested.
