Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on care homes in Wales. [44155]

Mr. Touhig

The Assembly is very aware of the problems faced by the care sector. Its objective is to work with local government and the sector to improve the quality of care services and ensure a viable, and vibrant care home sector.

At a national level the Assembly is taking strategic action and established a Wales Care Strategy Group to discuss the current problems facing the care sector.
