We agree that clear face masks help disabled people. We are finding out which clear face masks work best for people and keep people safe. When we find out which clear face masks work best we will buy them for the health and social care teams that need them. Extra money Recommendation 7 and 8 The Committee says it is very important that the Government gives much more money to all social care areas to make sure services are much more person- centred and meeting people’s needs. The Government says: We have given some extra money to social care areas. The extra money is to: ● help social care areas recover from the Coronavirus emergency ● make sure services are much more person-centred and meeting people’s needs. We agree that it is important to keep making improvements to social care. We want everyone to: ● have the care they need ● be treated with dignity ● live as independently as possible in their own home for as long as possible ● have help to plan their care. Later this year we will come up with a plan to give social care even more money and improve support for people. Special educational needs and disability
