The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to personally meet with cross-party representatives to discuss social care reform.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Building a cross-party consensus is fundamental to the national conversation that the Prime Minister has tasked Baroness Louise Casey of Blackstock to facilitate.

The commission is independent and Baroness Casey has the full support of my Rt. Hon. friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, in taking this work forward and deciding how best to engage other political parties and in building cross-party consensus.
