Consultation on Changes to Social Care Provision

In 2011, the Directorate for Adults, Health and Wellbeing consulted on a fair way to achieve the savings we need to secure by changing the criteria for social care eligibility in order to ensure the Council has a balanced budget.

The Report to the Council's Committees with the outcomes of the consultation is available on our site. Read the Report, and see the related Press Release. You can also read a summary of the changes which were approved by committee.

This consultation ran from the 9 May - 8 August 2011.

On the 30 June, we added some supplementary questions, based on what people had told us so far. You can read about why we did this here.

We made the following information available throughout the consultation period to help people understand the proposals and give us their views:

• Introductory presentation about our consultations
• Presentation about the proposed changes to social care provision
• Guidance for completing the questionnaire | Guidance in PDF
• Consultation Information Sheet for Customers
