The Adult Social Care sector in London is already under tremendous strain. Delayed DBS checks are adding to the problem. Of course the DBS checks will also impact the children's care sector, education and the NHS. In Question 2015/4405, the previous Mayor stated, 'Unfortunately, MPS systems are not defined in such a way as to be able to sift particular professions so unfortunately we are unable to provide the requested breakdown of applications'. Is this now possible, and are there any officers monitoring the impact of delayed DBS checks?
