Adult Social Care Reform: The Cost of Inaction

Inquiry

Successive governments have presented reform ideas for adult social care, yet few of these have been implemented. This inquiry seeks to understand what this inaction is costing. We will investigate the cost of inaction to individuals, the NHS, local authorities and also to the wider economy and HM Treasury, focussing not only on the financial cost, but also on the personal costs and on potential benefits that are being missed. The inquiry will consider social care for both older and working age adults.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Wednesday 11 December 2024.
