ABI response to Law Commission report on Adult Social Care

Responding to the Law Commission report on Adult Social Care, Nick Kirwan, assistant Director, Health & Protection, ABI, said:

“We are very pleased with the report and agree that this is an important step towards creating a sustainable future for Long Term Care. We support the Law Commissions findings to have a single, clear statute – we have been calling for some time for the simplification of the system and these recommendations will help achieve this.

“We are also very supportive of the Commission’s recommendations for a streamlined assessment and eligibility framework. In our publication ‘ A sustainable future for long term care’ (October 2010) – we called for clearer care assessments and we are pleased that the Law Commission has recognised this need. We hope that Government recognises and follows through with these recommendations.
