| Annotation | This executive summary outlines the content of White Paper (same title) which has followed the Government's Big Care Debate consultation on the Green Paper, 'Shaping the future of care together' (Cm 7673; TSO, 2009). It introduces the concept of a National Care Service, which will be underpinned by six founding principles: be universal; be free when people need it; work in partnership; ensure choice and control; support family, carers and community life; and be accessible. People can also expect the following from the National Care Service: prevention services; nationally consistent eligibility criteria; a joined-up service; information and advice; personalised care and support; and fair funding. This document also outlines how the comprehensive funding option was arrived at; that the Attendance Allowance (AA) and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) will be maintained; how accommodation costs in residential care will be treated; and securing the care and support system over the next five years.
