We are the Department of Health and Social Care. We help run health and social care services in England.

Health and social care services are places that give people care like care homes, hospitals and hospices.

A care home is where people live and get care from trained staff.

A hospital gives care to people who have problems with their health.

A hospice gives care to people who are very unwell and may not get better.

In this survey we call health and social care services, care services.
