SOCIAL CARE PRIORITIES & OPTIONS IN WALES

The National Assembly’s Finance Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the costs of care for older people. This is timely not least because the UK Government has promised us a green paper on social care finance by the summer 2018  thought there are media reports this could be postponed — it seems that the Brexit policy paralysis is contagious and spreading to other other areas.

No doubt in advance of the the anticipated green paper, there has been a flurry of papers and publications in recent weeks. They will add to the dozen or so commissions, green papers etc that have been published over the last three decades. With the exception of Scotland most have been filed under “too hard to do”.

Socialist Health Association Cymru Wales has made its submission to the National Assembly’s Finance Committee and it can be accessed here.
