| Annotation | This consultation/discussion document sets out the case for an open debate about the long term future of England's care and support system. The Government wants to engage with the public and key stakeholders about how the existing system can meet the challenges of the future. There are three main questions open for debate. First, what more do we need to do to make our vision of independence, choice and control a reality? Second, what should the balance of responsibility be between the family, the individual and the government? Third, should the system be the same for everybody or should we consider varying the ways government funding is allocated according to certain principles? This document was launched on the new national website (link given below) which will be used to support the consultation process and national debate. Further useful updates, a series of events, and general information about independent living will be available on the website (www.careandsupport.direct.gov.uk). The consultation period runs from May to November 2008. (KJ/RH). |
