Green Paper consultation on options for reform

The original consultation material may be found below or by clicking on the tabs at the top of the page.

The current system of paying for care for older and disabled people is over 60 years old, and needs to change if we are to meet increasing demand and higher expectations. We want to create a system that is simpler, fairer and more affordable for individuals, their families and government.

The Welsh Assembly Government wants to know your views on how we should pay for care in the future.

The Green Paper ‘Paying for Care in Wales: creating a fair and sustainable system’ was published on 16 November 2009. It sets out a number of options for reforming the current system, and sets out the main advantages and disadvantages of each. You have until 28 February 2010 to comment on these options and tell us which model you think will work best in Wales.
