When is health care social care?
As the recent case against Bexley shows, the present system for deciding whether the health authority or social services should pay for the care of the chronically sick is deeply flawed. Current policies (described by the House of Commons select committee as a nonsense) create serious injustices such as that highlighted by the case of Mrs Grogan, forced to sell home in order to pay fees in excess of £100,000. This seminar will:
- Provide an overview of the key issues
- Explain how the latest case arose
- Give clear guidance on what should happen now
Who Should Attend:
Essential to all those involved in assessing care packages for adults especially those entering or residing in a care home, those who work in strategic health authorities and those who provide strategic or legal advice to such.
