The Department has published the 'Caring for our future: reforming care and support' White Paper, which sets out the vision for a reformed care and support system. The new system will:
focus on people's wellbeing and support them to stay independent for as long as possible
introduce greater national consistency in access to care and support
provide better information to help people make choices about their care
give people more control over their care
improve support for carers
improve the quality of care and support
improve integration of different services
You can find out more about the White Paper and the draft Care and Support Bill on the Caring for our future site.
