Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they will take to bring together the different (1) initiatives, (2) white papers, and (3) funding streams, into a clearer plan for social care reform.

In spring 2023, the Government will publish a plan for adult social care system reform. This will set out how we will build on the progress so far to implement the vision for adult social care set out in the People at the Heart of Care white paper, published in December 2020.

The plan will include key milestones for reform, including for workforce, data and technology. The final Local Government Finance Settlement, published on 7 February, sets out the resources available to local authorities in 2023/24, including for adult social care services.
