| Annotation | The Care Bill, published on 9th May 2013, represents a wholesale change in the way that carers, disabled people and older poeple are supported. Carers UK has welcomed the Bill and the new rights that it contains for carers. This Policy briefing outlines the Bill's key provisions, including: duty on local authorities to promote an adult's well-being; preventing needs for care and support; providing information and advice; promoting diversity and quality in provision of services; assessment of carer's need for support; eligibility criteria; charging; the care account; duty and power to meet a carer's need for support; the support plan; personal budgets and Independent Persons budgets; and continuity of care.
