Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord O'Shaughnessy on 31 January (HL5313), whether the funding that was set aside to implement the cap on care costs and other adult social care reforms will be released to local government immediately following publication of the Social Care Green Paper; and when an announcement on changes to spending decisions is expected.

As stated in my earlier answer to Written Question HL5313, any decisions on funding will be set out in due course.
