Decision details

The Adult Social Care (ASC) programme has been developed in response to a new national assurance framework for adult social care and the Government’s ‘People at the Heart of Care’ white paper. While the Government’s Autumn Statement delayed charging reform until 2025, other reforms outlined in the white paper are continuing. There are significant implications attached to a Care Quality Commission (CQC) assessment rating outcome including potential government intervention for those local authorities deemed ’inadequate.’
