The Current Position • We have a watching brief without getting into detailed • planning. • The context of the bill is clear, but the key policy is yet • to be finalised. • The devil is in the detail. We are awaiting issue of the • regulations and statutory guidance in October 2014.
Duty towards the market • Market Position Statements. • Workforce implications. • Local Authorities taking the lead on the private pay • market. Any idea of how big that market is and • the likely impact?
Consumer Information • Headline grabbing statements i.e. £72,000 cap on • cost of care. • Review / reprint and reissue our own literature. • Happy to assist in the distribution of key • information from Local Authorities. • Happy to facilitate customer forums / presentation • events.
Prevention and well-being • Resource issues for Local Authorities. Danger that • their already stretched resources will be • overwhelmed when self funders approach them. • Scale and complexity of tasks facing Local • Authorities and the demands on capacity is a • serious issue for providers. • Focus on prevention by developing our assessment • process to also signpost to other services in the • community.
Implications of changes to care funding • Rates pressures. The private market has for years • cross-subsidised the Local Authority rates. • Situation re: financial top-ups. • Review and change private contracts / top-ups to ensure • conformance within the new legal framework.
