The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on reviewing powers of entry for social workers.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones

The Ministry of Justice has no remit for powers of entry for social workers. Therefore, there have been no discussions with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on the issue. Any review of such powers would be a matter for the Department of Health and Social Care.
