The CMA’s analysis of this issue and the adult social care market is an important part of the evidence base which will feed into the Green Paper on adult social care. The Green Paper will consider the fundamental issues facing the care system.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 03/12/2018 17:39:56 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

However, it is not possible to provide 100% assurance that the site is entirely clear of unexploded ordinance and therefore a formal digging ban remains in place in specified areas. This includes land within the current training area, which is still used regularly by the Army for dry-fire training, and parts of the estate sold by MOD in 1992, where MOD consent is required to build, dig or plant.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/12/2018 15:28:07 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

Of those that had taken action on workload, 47% said unnecessary workload had been effectively reduced.
