| Annotation | The CSCI report 'The state of social care in England 2006-07' illustrated the poor quality of life for many people who are deemed ineligible for publicly-funded care. The Government asked CSCI to undertake this review in response to that report's findings, particularly in respect of the Fair Access to Care Services (FACS) framework. The present report looks at the reasons for introducing FACS, and what it found about FACS and people's experiences of seeking support and the eligibility decisions. It makes recommendations on: better arrangements that offer universal support; improving the response to people needing assistance; criteria for allocating public funds to individuals; a national resource allocation formula; and measures to support implementation of these arrangements. The weblink includes links to six background papers that provide further details on the evidence as well as findings on evidence relevant to the Green Paper consultations. (RH). |
