- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what consultation his Department has conducted with disabled people as part of its review of social care.
- Answer
-
The Department engages regularly with people with disabilities for example through its strategic partners programme. Last summer, the Department commissioned Think Local Act Personal to survey the views of those using social care, including disabled people, through their partner organisations as part of an ongoing evaluation of the Care Act 2014’s implementation. Think Local Act Personal are currently analysing the results of the survey for publication.
The Department of Health is working closely with the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Treasury, and the Cabinet Office on adult social care. Departments frequently work together on issues which affect multiple Departments and it is usual for the Cabinet Office to coordinate such work.
