Independent Commission into Adult Social Care
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if will make it his policy that unpaid carers are the central focus of the Independent Commission into Adult Social Care.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
We are launching an independent commission chaired by Baroness Louise Casey into adult social care as part of our critical first steps towards delivering a National Care Service.
The commission is independent. We expect it will engage unpaid carers as part of a national conversation on what adult social care should achieve for people. This will produce recommendations that address major challenges and drive meaningful reform to better meet the needs of everyone, including unpaid carers.
