Independent Commission into Adult Social Care

Asked by Rachael MaskellLabour (Co-op)Department of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 26 June 2025UIN 58646

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he plans to take to ensure (a) MPs, (b) care provider organisations, (c) VCS and (d) other stakeholders are included in the Independent Commission on Adult Social Care.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Terms of Reference are sufficiently broad to enable the commission to independently consider how to build a social care system fit for the future. The commission is independent and will consider its own plans on how to engage with stakeholders and lead a national conversation on how best to meet the current and future needs of the population.
