Call for Evidence

The Committee is inviting submissions primarily focussing on the following points:

• How has Covid-19 changed the landscape for long-term funding reform of the adult social care sector?

• How should additional funds for the adult social care sector be raised?

• How can the adult social care market be stabilised?

• How can the adult social care market be incentivised to compete on quality and/or innovation?

We want our inquiries to be informed by a diverse range of voices. Our committee team are happy to help if you require a reasonable adjustment, such as an extension to the deadline, or submitting evidence in an alternative format: please get in touch at hclgcom@parliament.uk or 020 7219 5364.

Please note: The Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee examines policy issues relating to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and its associated bodies. It is unable to investigate, or adjudicate on, individual cases. While you may request anonymity or confidentiality, we can’t guarantee this will happen as the Committee has the power to decide. Requests will be granted if there is a likelihood of adverse effects on family or others.
