Annotation	Carers UK has been campaigning against excessive charging for care for many years, and so has welcomed the Personal Care at Home Bill as a first important step in the right direction in helping families who need care. This Policy briefing outlines progress on the Bill which has completed all the stages in the House of Commons and was having its second Reading in the House of Lords on 1 February 2010. It summarises how the legislation will work and how much money people will receive. It sets out issues that Carers UK believe should be addressed through guidance and regulation. The Department of Health (DH) is holding a consultation on the Bill (see www.dh.gov.uk/Consultations/Liveconsultations/DH_1... which closes on 23 February 2010. Carers UK has already responded to this and to the Green Paper 'Shaping the future of care together' (see Carers UK website). (RH).
