Debate

Social Care

Contribution

My Lords, this year we have boosted funding for social care authorities by up to £3.7 billion and provided £86 million for home adaptations for older and disabled people. Further improvements include the largest ever uplift to the carer’s allowance earnings limit, legislation on the first fair pay agreement for care workers and new standards for care technologies. The noble Baroness, Lady Casey, is chairing an independent commission to make recommendations for a national care service, with the first phase reporting next year.
