§ Mr. CameronTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent representations he has received about the regulation of adult placement schemes; and if he will make a statement. [82049]
§ Jacqui SmithWe have recently received representations from the national association of adult placement services and others about the regulation of adult placement schemes. We have carried out a thorough review of these issues and intend to propose changes to the way in which both adult placement carers and the schemes that manage them are regulated. We will be consulting on this shortly.
