Social Services: Fees and Charges
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions he has had with representative organisations, including Mencap, on the adequacy of social care charging reforms.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Last year, the Prime Minister asked Baroness Louise Casey of Blackstock to chair an independent commission into adult social care to look at how to build a social care system that is fit for the future, including how best to make it fair and affordable
Baroness Casey and her team have been engaging extensively, putting the voices of people who draw on care and their families at the centre of the conversation, as well as meeting with sector organisations. Later this year, the commission will also launch a national conversation to build public consensus on what adult social care should deliver for citizens.
