| Annotation | This Green Paper sets out the framework for welfare reform, based on eight principles: helping and encouraging people of working age to work when they are able to; provision for retirement by the public and private sectors working in partnership; provision of high quality public welfare services; support for disabled people; support for families and children; attacking social exclusion and helping those in poverty; encouraging honesty and openness, rooting out fraud; and a system of delivering welfare that is flexible, efficient and easy to use. Each chapter sets out policy directions (including references to other consultation papers), and concludes with a range of `success measures'. Chapter 4, New partnerships for welfare, outlines the thinking on pension provision. This consultation paper concludes by providing an impression of what the welfare state will be like in 2020, setting out values, mechanisms, sources of funding and success measures. The Welfare Reform Green Paper Consultation Team at the Department of Social Security (DSS) invites comments, which should reach them by 31 July 1998. |
