How this response relates to the recommendation
Site note: This is the Department of Health and Social Care's interim update on government progress in responding to the phase 2 report, published on 16 December 2025. It sorts the 75 recommendations into those the government has accepted in full (11), accepted in principle (43) and is still considering (21), and gives words of its own only on the 11 accepted in full. Every word is the Department's, so the rows are filed under it, including where the passage reports what another body has done.
Site note: The recommendation is addressed to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government; the passage is the Department's account, not that body's. The update gives this sentence once, under its heading "Recommendations under consideration", and lists this recommendation there among the 21 it covers. It says nothing about this recommendation alone.
