New House of Lords Adult Social Care Committee Inquiry issues call for evidence

A new House of Lords Adult Social Care Committee was established in 2022 to consider how to improve the planning for, and delivery of, adult social care services in England.

The Committee has launched an inquiry, 'Lifting the veil: Removing the invisibility of adult social care’, to consider how the entrenched invisibility of adult social care impacts on the lives of people across the spectrum who draw on care and support and their carers. 

They have also called for evidence of the ‘invisibility’ of adult social care, in particular “lifting the veil” on the impact for people with care needs and carers. It also seeks to explore how people are meaningfully involved in the design and delivery of care services.

Deadline for submissions is 27 May 2022.
