| Annotation | The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) has consulted on whether there should be a separate registration category for homes that provide care to people with a terminal illness. Given the changing role of care homes and the increasing levels of dependency of residents, CSCI argues that this category is out of date. CSCI proposes that homes with "extended skills" in providing palliative care should say so in their statement of purpose. Age Concern's response is to welcome the proposals in principle, but to propose some safeguards. A full version of this summary of the response can be obtained from Age Concern's website. (RH). |
