| Annotation | Following on from "The new vision for adult social care" introduced by the Minister of Health, Stephen Ladyman in May 2004 (with responses collated by the Social Care Institute for Excellence, SCIE, August 2004), this Green Paper sets out proposals for the future direction of social care for adults of all age groups in England over the next ten to fifteen years. The aim is for people to be able take more control of their lives, and at the same time to acknowledge the role of carers. Also highlighted are: issues of funding for social care; the role of local government; having strategic commissioning that covers all local partners; and improving service delivery. The paper proposes the merger of the Commission for Social Care Improvement (CSCI) and the Healthcare Commission into one single body by 2008, to reflect the increasing joint work between adult social care and health. Responses are invited to this consultation paper by 28 July 2005. (RH). |
