Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Rix (Crossbench). It was answered on Wednesday, 29 April 2009.
Social Care
- Question
- My Lords, is the Minister aware that research by the Learning Disability Coalition has revealed a financial shortfall for the social care of people with a learning disability of over £200 million a year for the next five years? Will the Green Paper, due to be published in June, address that issue?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I am pleased to inform the noble Lord that the Green Paper, which will be with us in June, will lay out a series of options for reforming the care and support system to ensure good quality and cost-effectiveness. The paper will outline funding systems that are sustainable and affordable for individuals and the state. It will be the start of a dialogue that is of great concern and interest to the noble Lord and many others in the House. That dialogue will then lead to proposals on how to take this forward.
