Recommendation 22
22
Proposed social care profit cap lacks parliamentary scrutiny and transparency.
Conclusion
The proposed profit cap has the potential to be a useful tool for the Department if needed, but we do not think it is acceptable for the Department to introduce this significant intervention in the market with 85 only limited opportunities for parliamentary scrutiny and no transparency around how and when the Department will decide if it is necessary to trigger the cap. (Conclusion, Paragraph 57)
