The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with the Chair of the independent commission into adult social care on progress to completing the first stage in 2026.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
The Independent Commission, chaired by Baroness Louise Casey, has begun its work on how to build a social care system fit for the future, and will first report in 2026.
The commission is independent, and Baroness Casey has the autonomy to decide when in 2026 she reports, and to define her own engagement plans, including with ministers, as she believes is most appropriate for the commission’s work.
