  2. The Care Bill was introduced into Parliament on the 9th May 2013, and published on the 10th May 2013. The Bill is split into 3 parts. 1. Reform of care and support 2. Response to the Francis Inquiry on failings at Mid- Staffordshire Hospital 3. Health Education England and the Health Research Authority

  3. The following are the key areas of focus: • Prevention, information and market shaping • Who is entitled to public care and support? • Assessments and eligibility • Personalising care and support planning • Charging and financial assessments • Market oversight and provider failure • Protecting adults from abuse or neglect • The law for carers • Continuity of care when moving between areas • Market oversight and provider failure • Transition for children to adult care and support services • Single Failure Regime • Health and social care ratings • False or misleading information • Health Education England • Health Research Authority

  4. In summary The Care Bill aims to: • Reform the law relating to care and support for adults and the law relating to support for carers. • Make provision about safeguarding adults from abuse or neglect • Make provision about care standards • Establish and make provision about Health Education England • Establish and make provision about the Health Research Authority

  5. However doubts have been expressed about how effective the reforms will be, given the current pressure on the public purse. A substantial squeeze on services for older people and people with disabilities and on fees to providers, were revealed by the latest annual survey of social care budgets carried out by the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS). Despite a transfer of NHS resources, councils are planning to save another £800 million this year in addition to the £2.68 billion savings (20% of net spending) already made by adult social care.

  6. Commenting on the Care Bill - Skills for Care CEO Sharon Allen said: "The Bill is designed to drive up the quality of care and joining up services so our job now is to work with employers and their employees to make sure they can access fit for purpose training and development so people have the maximum choice and control over the services they use."

  7. The economic value of the adult socialcare sector in England - February 2013 The adult social care sector employs more people (1.5 million) in England than: • The construction industry (1.1 million); • The transportation, storage and postal industry (1.1 million); • The public administration and defence sector (1.2 million); and • All restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars in the food and drink service industry (1.3 million) The adult social care sector also contributes more GVA (£20 billion) per annum to the English economy than: • The production and distribution of electricity and gas (£16 billion) • legal activities (£17 billion) • The arts, entertainment and recreation industries (£18 billion) • The food and drink service industry (£19 billion).
