Age Concern cites a number of examples where local Fair Access to Care criteria have differed from the national guidance in order to restrict eligibility still further. Age Concern recommends that minimum entitlements to social care should be set at a national level rather than a local level. The minimum level of care that everyone should be entitled to should be based on what is needed in order to achieve the social care outcomes set out in the Independence, Well-being and Choice Green Paper. Services should therefore be aimed at supporting health and quality of life, should aim to enable people to exercise choice and control and to make a positive contribution to their community or family, and should ensure dignity and protection from discrimination or harassment.
