The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how can MPs be involved in supporting Baroness Casey in developing an Adult Social Care strategy.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Independent Commission into adult social care, chaired by Baroness Casey, is working to build consensus on the future of adult social care, meeting with people with first-hand experience of the social care system and sector organisations. As part of building political consensus, Baroness Casey held the first cross-party engagement in September last year.

Details about how to engage with the Commission are available on its website at the following link:
