Levelling-up Committee examines Government plans, Monday 25 April (4pm)
On Monday 25 April from 4pm, the Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (LUHC) Committee will hold the fourth evidence session of its inquiry into long-term funding of adult social care.
Likely areas of questioning
The cross-party group of MPs will question representatives from the Local Government Association, UNISON, and Pixel Financial Management.
Witnesses (full witness list below) will be asked for their views on the long-term funding of adult social care as well as immediate pressures on the sector. MPs are likely to examine Government reforms of how people pay for their care and paying a fair rate to providers. The session will also consider wider reform of the adult social care sector.
