PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Social Services: Fees and Charges (25 January 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department's upcoming consultation on social care will propose specific amounts for a cap on the amount someone would have to pay towards their own care.

Asked by:
Dame Angela Eagle (Labour)

An ageing society means that we need to reach a longer-term sustainable settlement for social care. This is why the Government has committed to publishing a Green Paper by summer 2018 setting out its proposals for reform.

This will include consulting on a limit on the care costs that individuals face.
