Recommendation (the committee's words)
We reiterate the recommendation we made in our July 2022 report Long-term Funding of Adult Social Care, that the Government needs to recognise the need for more funding to local authorities for delivery of adult social care, in the order of several billions each year, and to plan a sustainable mechanism to deliver this funding, for example through the social care premium recommended by our predecessor committee in 2018.
