The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what is the current working assumption for the Casey review into adult social care to start and conclude.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Independent Commission into Adult Social Care (the Commission), chaired by Baroness Louise Casey, formally began in April 2025. The Commission is in two phases: phase one will report in 2026, focusing on medium-term improvements using existing resources; and phase two will conclude by 2028, when the Commission publishes their report setting out long-term recommendations for transforming the system.
