PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(21 July 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the potential impact of caring responsibilities on levels of social isolation among unpaid carers.

Asked by:
Luke Taylor (Liberal Democrat)

The Government has launched an independent commission into adult social care as part of our critical first steps towards delivering a National Care Service. The commission will start a national conversation about what care and support working age adults, older people, and their families expect from adult social care, including exploring the needs of unpaid carers who provide vital care and support.

Local authorities have duties to support unpaid carers and are required to deliver sustainable, high-quality care and support services.
