Annotation	The Welsh Assembly Government is running this consultation on the system of paying for care, in parallel with one taking place in England. The consultation considers devolved issues such as continuing care, NHS funded nursing care, residential care, and home and support services, as well as non-devolved issues such as the benefit system. The document looks at who currently receives care in Wales, and why changes are needed to the system of paying for care. The main questions asked relate to sharing the responsibility for paying for care; who should contribute more to care in the future; and how should rules for financial support be set in the future? The document is in English and Welsh. Responses to this document are sought by 28 February 2009; and the Green Paper is planned for spring 2009. (RH).
