Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Harper (Conservative). It was answered by Baroness Blake of Leeds (Labour) on Wednesday, 17 September 2025.
Independent Commission on Adult Social Care
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the Independent Commission on Adult Social Care gives due consideration to the needs of working-age adults to live as independently as possible.
- Answer
-
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.
