A House of Lords committee has delivered a withering assessment of the measures in the autumn statement for adult social care.

Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, announced a further 4.7bn for adult social care by 2024-25. But, in an open letter to Hunt and Steve Barclay, the health secretary, the Lords adult social care committee chair, Lady Andrews, said that this was less than the 7bn that Hunt himself said adult social care needed when he was chair of the Commons health committee.

Increasing funding through council tax is a regressive solution, which will not allow for a properly and sustainably funded system. It does not translate as ring-fenced investment dedicated to adult social care. It is likely to create further inequalities from one locality to the next. In short, it is not a long-term plan for funding.

Equally regressive is the government's decision to delay the long overdue cap on care costs and extension to the means test. Although this is intended to unlock more funding for local authorities and provide them with breathing space, it also reflects the lack of a coherent strategy across adult social care. Delaying one policy to support another will ultimately compound problems; and it certainly does not allow for any priority to be given to choice, control and equality in the provision of adult social care.

I suspect you may have identified a ninth [MP], although it hasn't been announced, with my colleague, Matt Hancock.
