The Committee decided to inquire into the future of social care services following the publication earlier this year of the Government's Green Paper, Shaping the Future of Care Together. The inquiry is looking at options for:
- future funding of long-term residential and domiciliary care for older people and people with physical or learning disabilities
- personalisation of social care services
- more effective, consistent and user-friendly social care services
