answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government recognises the challenges faced by people of working age with care needs. We are committed to ensure that people with disabilities and complex conditions are able to live healthy, independent lives, and participate fully in society. The Green Paper will focus on care for older people, but many of the issues and questions about the sustainability of the care system, will be relevant to adults of all ages. To ensure that issues specific to working-age adults with care needs are considered in their own right, the Government will take forward a parallel programme of work, led jointly by the Department of Health and the Department for Communities and Local Government, which will focus on this group. This work will also be overseen by the Inter-Ministerial Group to ensure alignment with the Green Paper.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 21/11/2017 14:02:18 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
