Local Authorities in Wales have a statutory right to charge for domiciliary care. The Welsh Assembly Government does not have the legislative powers necessary to set aside this right except for the first 6 weeks. It could, however, introduce a voluntary grant scheme whereby it reimbursed authorities for the costs of not charging for certain services. As part of this research project, Welsh local authorities have been surveyed to determine the income they receive from charging.
