Require Baroness Casey to outline adult social care's role in the 10-Year NHS Health Plan
Recommendation
In her first report, Baroness Casey should set out the immediate steps that the Government needs to take to ensure the adult social care sector can play its vital part in the three shifts for NHS reform. Achieving these should be the measure against which the success of the 10-Year Health Plan is assessed. Her report should also set out how her reforms support the delivery of the 10-Year Health Plan and what, if any, further changes might be needed to the Plan or the NHS to support the adult social care sector. (Recommendation, Paragraph 118) Costs to the economy
Government Response Summary
The government states the independent commission has autonomy to make recommendations and that its terms of reference already align with supporting the government's health mission, but does not commit to ensuring Baroness Casey sets out the immediate steps or assessments as specifically recommended.

Rejected
The commission has autonomy to recommend what steps the government should take to support the adult social care sector. However, the terms of reference clearly outline that the focus of the first phase of the commission will be to support delivery of the government’s health mission, in the context of ongoing reforms, including the 10 Year Health Plan.
