Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 July 2025

Debate

Independent Commission on Adult Social Care

Contribution

My Lords, between 2011 and 2023, 804 out of the 816 adult care homes that were forcibly closed by the Care Quality Commission in England were run for profit. Corporations running such homes have had profit margins of 35% to 40%, removing billions from front-line services, as is the case with many privatised essential services. Can the Minister say when the Government will end profiteering in the adult care sector?
