Baroness in Waiting/Government Whip (Baroness Blake of Leeds) (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 September 2025

Debate

Independent Commission on Adult Social Care

Contribution

My Lords, we have made it clear in the independent commission’s terms of reference that its chair, the noble Baroness, Lady Casey, must consider older people’s care and support for working-age disabled adults separately, recognising that services meet different needs. It is, of course, for her and her team to independently consider how to build a social care system fit for the future. The commission will first report in 2026, with phase 2 to follow by 2028.
