The Big Care Debate team has been touring England, consulting the public and stakeholders on the reform options in the Green Paper Shaping the Future of Care Together since the summer. There is still time for you to get further involved by attending one of our events, or by telling friends, family and colleagues about the debate and encouraging them to have their say.
Shaping the Future of Care Together sets out a vision of a fair, affordable and easy to understand National Care Service, and offers options on how it could be organised and funded.
www.careandsupport.direct.gov.uk offers several ways of joining the debate. You can send in your comments or put them on the Green Paper text itself. You can also fill in the Big Care Questionnaire, or the shorter leaflet-style version. The latter offers a glimpse of what you may look like in the future via the Face of Care application. There is also a range of materials for those who want to stage their own event.
Don’t miss this historic opportunity to play a part in these crucial reforms, and please encourage others to do the same.
