Paying for Care in Wales
Creating a fair and sustainable system
In November 2008, the Welsh Assembly Government initiated a national debate about how we can create a fairer and more sustainable system for paying for care in Wales. A programme of consultation and engagement supported the debate, and included:
- two national stakeholder events - one held in Cardiff on 11 December 2008 and an other in Llandudno on 15 January 2009;
- a public consultation which ran from November 2008 to 28 February 2009;
- local consultation with existing forums and networks, which fed into the national consultation;
- an interactive response facility hosted on this website during the consultation period; and
- establishing a national Stakeholder Advisory Group.
On this website you will find background information on this debate, including the original consultation document, ‘Paying for Care in Wales: creating a fair and sustainable system’. You can also access a report of the two national stakeholder events and the consultation report.
Next steps
The Welsh Assembly Government intends to publish a Green Paper in the autumn. This will set out its proposals for reforming the system for paying for care. There will be another consultation on the Green Paper proposals – further details will be available on this website soon.
