Consultation launched on future of care and support

The government wants to hear what people need to have independence, choice and control

Join in the national debate about the future of care and support services for older people, disabled people, people who have a long term illness, and their Carers to inform the government about services which would be beneficial to enable people to be independent, active and healthy throughout their lives.

You can give your views direct on the Care Support Independence consultation website where your views will be used to inform the government's plans to change the care and support system to be outlined in a Green Paper next year. Regional events will also be held to obtain views - dates for these are yet to be released.
