| The Big CARE Debate | Download | |
| The Government recently published the long-awaited Green Paper on long-term funding for social care. This proposes to establish a National Care Service in which anyone who meets a new England-wide eligibility threshold will be entitled to some state funding for their personal care. However, as life expectancy rises, and care costs become ever higher, public funding will not be sufficient to cover the costs of social care in the future. Therefore, the Department of Health proposes to use money currently spent on Attendance Allowance, which is paid to all older people with care needs, to help fund the new service. Specifically, the Department of Health suggests that the state should fund a minimum of a quarter to a third of the care costs of people in need, with more state funding available for people who are less wealthy.

| COMPACT'S Consultation Paper | Download | |
| COMPACT'S Consultation PaperNew and shorter COMPACT out for consultation The revised document would abolish the existing five codes of conduct The COMPACT's five codes of conduct would be abolished by a new draft version of the agreement published this week. http://www.thecompact.org.uk/ The original Compact, which was written in 1998 to outline how the public and voluntary sectors should behave towards each other, is underpinned by codes on funding and procurement, volunteering, consultation and policy appraisal, community groups and black and minority ethnic groups. The draft new version, which at 56 pages is about a third of the size of the original, replaces the codes with three sections on involvement in policy development, allocating resources and commissioning and achieving equality. The draft Compact contains 96 undertakings for signatories, compared with almost 500 in the existing Compact. Consultation on the draft version closes on 12 October. A final version will be published during Compact Week from 2 to 8 November. It is important that the VCFS in Hyndburn respond to this Consultation. |
