| Annotation | Following the recommendations made in 2011 by the Commission on Funding of Care and Support (chaired by Andrew Dilnot), the Government has announced how it intends to implement a new funding model for adult social care. This undated document sets out further detail on what the new system will mean and how it may be legislated for. Section 1 describes the case for change, and the Government's objectives in bringing forward these proposals for a reformed system. It is envisaged that the new funding model will provide greater fairness and certainty for people faced with the costs of care, either now or in the future. Section 2 describes how this would work for individuals and the changes that might be provided for in legislation, including where revisions might be required to the proposals set out in the draft Care and Support Bill. Provisions to enact these reforms would be included when legislation is introduced: it is proposed that the new system will come into effect from April 2017. (RH). |
