Care Homes: Closures
- Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of issuing national guidance on the procedures for care home closures.
- Answer
-
On 29 July 2026, the Prime Minister set out his objectives to reform the social care system and brought forward the timetable for Baroness Casey’s commission to inform that reform programme. All aspects of the current system will be reviewed as part of that process, including support for care home provision, and we will continue to update Parliament on a regular basis.
