Background 2 The Law Commission

In May 2011, the Law Commission published a report recommending changes to make the legal rights of disabled and older people to care and support services clearer. They want local councils to have clear rules about eligibility (who is entitled to which services).

Background 3 (continued) Dilnot Commission

Fairer Funding for All suggested the current funding system is in urgent need of reform: it is hard to understand, often unfair and unsustainable.

The Commission made recommendations about how this can be changed.

Focus group 1: Increased personalisation and choice

Personalisation means putting the individual in control of the services they receive. We want to know how you think people can achieve control, while receiving the appropriate support to make choices about the services they receive.

Focus group 2: Creating a more diverse and responsive care market

As part of the shift towards services being delivered in a more personalised way and giving people greater choice and control in how they access them, the ways people purchase their services need to be considered.
