Purpose of the consultation
The
Health and Social Care Committee
undertook scrutiny of the Care
and Support (Eligibility) (Wales) Regulations 2015 (PDF, 102KB), which
will be made under the Social Services and Well-being Act 2014. The draft
Regulations were published by the Welsh Government on 8 May, a 60 day scrutiny
period followed before a resolution for their approval could be considered by
the Assembly. During this period, the
Committee sought the views of those with an interest on the draft Regulations.
The draft Regulations were considered alongside the Code
of Practice on the exercise of social services functions in relation to part 4
(Meeting needs) of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014. (PDF, 707)
The
Committee sought views on:
- whether the draft Regulations
and Code of Practice as drafted:
- will achieve the desired aims
of the Act;
- are appropriate to ensure the
right access to care and support for people who require it in Wales;
- sufficiently address any
concerns previously raised;
- whether there are likely to be
any barriers to the implementation of the provisions; and
- the likely consequences of the draft Regulations and Code of Practice for current and future service users and carers.
