Biography
Baroness Prashar engaged on adult social care and ageing society through committee work on the Economic Affairs Committee report, endorsing its recommendations on supporting older workers and addressing the social care crisis, while noting the Government's response lacked sufficient strategic direction. The extracts provided do not contain substantive engagement on the other three listed topics (public health & prevention, mental health, health inequalities), though they show broader engagement across sentencing reform and universities.

“…hose in their mid-50s and 60s to remain in work or return to work, as well as its call to address the crisis of adult social care. It is, however, regrettable that the Government’s response does not grasp the strategic direction recommended in the report, nor the committee’s call to “act now”.”
