Pathfinders will be interested to know that the Department of Health has launched a period of engagement with people who use care and support services – carers, local councils, care providers and the voluntary sector – to discuss priorities for improving the care and support system.
Caring for our future: shared ambitions for care and support began on 15 September and will last until 2 December. It will be followed up by a White paper in spring 2012, alongside a progress report on funding reform, with a view to legislating at the earliest opportunity.
