Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 July 2025

Debate

Independent Commission on Adult Social Care

Contribution

My noble friend raises an important point. I would stretch that out to talk about the care market’s sustainability. The whole system is in real difficulty, not least because of the funding taken away from local authorities over the past 14 years. Local authorities have had difficulties in sustaining provision. Of course, the whole market needs to be looked at so that we can find the most cost-effective and efficient ways forward which benefit the most people from the most vulnerable cohort in our society.
