| Annotation | Age Concern and Help the Aged comment on the proposed new guidance that will replace 'Fair access to care services' (FACS) guidance on eligibility for social care services. There is welcome that local authorities should not be determining or assessing a person's need or care plan in terms of that person's financial resources. However, there is concern that the presence of carer should not be treated as resulting in a lack of need. Age Concern and Help the Aged conclude that any change in the balance between local autonomy and a national system whilst the Department of Health has a Green Paper which is also consulting on this issue.
