The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people are in Baroness Casey’s review team.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

There are 10 officials currently assigned to work in the secretariat of the independent commission into adult social care, chaired by Baroness Louise Casey. We expect that the secretariat will expand as the commission carries out its work, and as Baroness Casey considers what further skills and expertise she needs.

In addition to this, there is a small sponsorship function of four officials based in the Department.
