A care cap was due to come into force in England in October 2025. It would have meant that no one would have to pay more than £86,000 in England for their personal care. This was postponed and finally abolished by the previous and current governments. I feel strongly that it should be implemented.

Compel residential care homes in England to publish their tariff of room charges
We urge the Secretary of State to use their powers under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, to compel residential care homes in England to publicly display an itemised tariff of fees for rooms and service charges, very similar to those displayed in hotels.
Provide funding for Veterans to remain in care homes
We call on the Government to create a fund to ensure that Veterans in Care Homes are not forced to change homes when their own private funding runs out. This can be especially hard for Veterans living with Dementia
Require registration and regulation of all private domiciliary carers in England
We ask the Government to require all English domiciliary carers to undergo mandatory registration, enhanced DBS checks & minimum training requirements. English private carers are not currently required to register with a regulatory body, undergo enhanced DBS checks or meet minimum training standards
Housing costs for residential care unclear
A resident is asking about whether property assets must be sold to fund residential care for a spouse. This raises concerns about the financial burden and transparency of social care costs.
Implement a rent cap on private rents matching the LHA to reduce overcrowding
There are hundreds if not thousands of people who are currently in private renting sector not able to afford the extra costs on top of the LHA due to lack of social housing. Some severely overcrowded.
