Letter from DHSC regarding that they have published three further documents, related to ‘People at the Heart of Care.’  – 21 February 2022

The purpose of the impact statement is to describe the potential impact of the £1.7 billion white paper proposals, so local authorities, providers and people who draw and support understand how the reforms could affect them.

This document is a formal government response to the House of Lords Economic Affairs committee’s report: ‘Social care funding: time to end a national scandal’. The response sets out which of the committee’s recommendation the government is taking forward, as part of our reform programme, including how reforms to the charging system will ensure people are protected from unpredictable and unlimited costs. It also sets out how we are improving the quality of care by providing more support for local authorities and investing in housing, technology and the adult social care workforce.
