The Communities and Local Government Committee has launched an inquiry into the financial sustainability of local authority adult social care and the quality of care provided.
The Committee examines whether the funding available for adult social care is sufficient for local authorities to fulfil their statutory obligations to assess and meet the needs of people requiring care and support. This includes looking at the impact of policies such as the National Living Wage and the two per cent council tax precept.
The inquiry also explores the role of carers and looks at alternative funding models for financing and providing care. It covers all adult social care provided or commissioned by local authorities and not just the support given to elderly care users.
The deadline for written submissions is Friday 19 August 2016.
