The Department of Health has just published the Care and Support Statutory Guidance Care Act 2014. It says encouraging things like –
“It is critical to the vision in the Care Act that the care and support system works to actively promote well-being and independence, and does not just wait to respond when people reach a crisis point. To meet the challenges of the future, it will be vital that the care and support system intervenes early to support individuals, helps people retain or regain their skills and confidence, and prevents need or delays deterioration wherever possible.”
