The Government published its initial response to the report on 26 March.
We have produced a member briefing which outlines the key points from the response, our reaction, and how we will continue to work on behalf of members on the issues raised.
Care Bill
The Care Bill, published on 10 May, is intended to help drive up the quality of care following the findings of the Francis inquiry, introducing legislation to take forward elements of the Government's initial response to the report.
Download our briefing for members for an overview of each section of the Bill, the changes that made since the draft Bill was published, and the recommendations made by the joint committee during its pre-legislative scrutiny.
