Independent Commission into Adult Social Care
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress has been made by the Casey Review into social care.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
In March 2026, Baroness Casey highlighted several issues she had identified within the adult social care system and called for immediate action in three key areas, safeguarding, dementia, and motor neurone disease. The Government is now working at pace to take her recommendations forward.
Baroness Casey's recommendations followed the Commission’s extensive engagement across the country. The Commission has actively engaged with over 400 people, including people who draw on care and their families. It held the second round of cross-party discussions last month.
The Commission will shortly launch its national conversation with the public. Baroness Casey will publish her phase 1 report, making recommendations on immediate priorities for adult social care, later this year.
