Coronavirus and Care Homes

The following is an extract from my response to an urgent question on Coronavirus and Care Homes on Tuesday 19 May 2020.

Letter of correction from the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, the right hon. Member for West Suffolk (Matt Hancock):

An error has been identified in my response. The correct wording should have been:

Fifthly, we are increasing the social care workforce during this crisis and have provided more support. Altogether, this is an unprecedented level of support for the social care system. I thank colleagues across social care for their hard work.
