This document seeks views on the Government’s proposals for requiring councils in England with adult social services responsibilities (CASSRs) to provide personal care free of charge in certain circumstances to people with the highest needs. On 25 November, the Government introduced the Personal Care At Home Bill (“the Bill”) to enable this to happen. The consultation will last until 23rd February 2010, but the Department would welcome earlier responses, by 26th January.
