| Annotation | This is a response to the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions' Supporting People supplementary consultation document, "Charging and means-testing" (DETR 2001). Age Concern is opposed to charging for personal care services and low level support services; but if charges are to remain, these need to be fair, affordable and to take account of users' circumstances. ACE believes that older people should be entitled to free Supporting People services, as the support element of service charges in sheltered housing is not generally high. (RH). |
