On Monday 25 October from 4pm the Housing Communities and Local Government (HCLG) Committee holds the first evidence session of its inquiry into long-term funding of adult social care.
Meeting details
Purpose of the session
The cross-party group of MPs will question witnesses over two panels.
In the first panel, representatives from local government – which commissions and pays for social care services – will be asked for their views on how far the Government’s new Health and Social Care Plan addresses adult social care funding pressures. They will also be asked about the integration of health and social care, and for views on what should be included in the Government’s upcoming social care white paper.
The second panel, made up of industry representatives from the adult social care sector, will also be asked for their views on the Plan and upcoming white paper, as well as about pressures on the workforce and how the adult social care market can be stabilised.
