Care Workers: West Dorset
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential benefits of a Royal College of Care Workers to support rural care staff in West Dorset constituency.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
The Department has no current plans to introduce a Royal College of Care. The Government is committed to transforming adult social care to create a National Care Service and to improving the lives of people drawing on care, unpaid carers, and the social care workforce. We have also launched an independent commission into adult social care, chaired by Baroness Casey, as part of our critical first steps towards delivering a National Care Service. The commission's Terms of Reference are sufficiently broad to enable Baroness Casey to define its remit to independently consider how to build a social care system fit for the future.
