Carers, service users and providers from the public, private and third sectors can give their views on line as part of the Big Care Debate on the government proposals to reform adult care and support in England.
The green paper Shaping the Future of Care Together, highlights the challenges faced by the current care system and sets out suggestions for developing an National Care Service that is fair, simple and affordable for everyone.
People can contribute to the debate in a variety of ways:
-through the website www.careandsupport.direct.gov.uk and facebook
-via leaflets with specific consultation questions, that will be distributed via GP surgeries pharmacies and other outlets. These can be sent back to the DH freepost
-through a series of Department of Health events which will be held throughout the summer. The West Midlands event took place earlier this month, visit www.careandsupport.direct.gov.uk for other dates and locations
-by holding their own consultation events.
A toolkit to help set up an event is available at www.careandsupport.direct.gov.uk. Department of Health West Midlands can send a speaker to your event to explain the proposed options; contact Karen Murphy, telephone: email: karen.murphy@dh.gsi.gov.uk
Closing date for the consultation is 13 November 2009
