Review of Charging Policy in Adult Social Care

1. To what extent do you support or oppose the proposed changes relating to people who own a property and are responsible for funding their own residential or nursing care?
2. Do you think it is reasonable for people who can afford to pay for their own residential or nursing care to make arrangements directly with a care provider if they choose not to use the Universal Deferred Payment Scheme?
3. Having read the information in the overview on the previous page, do you have any concerns about how the proposed changes might affect people who need residential or nursing care, particularly those who may need additional support to manage their affairs?
4. Do you think these proposals could have a greater impact on any particular individuals or groups? If yes, please tell us who may be affected and how.
