Why are we doing a consultation?
• Care Act 2014 was passed into law in May 2014

• Care Act 2014 Statutory Guidance released in October 2014
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/care-act-2014-statutory-guidance-for-implementation
• Care Act represents significant changes to social care policy and practice, including the introduction of the care cap and deferred payment agreements
• Councils are currently working towards the outlined changes in policy and practice
• HSCIC data collections need to be updated to reflect new policy and practice
• HSCIC must consult with stakeholders to agree what changes are necessary and actionable

How were the proposals developed?

The care cap
In April 2016 the Care Act will deliver an eligible care cost cap of £72,000.
1. What do you think the national data requirements are arising from the cap?
• How many people are eligible? How many people have “hit/benefitted” from the cap?
2. How do you think this could be incorporated into the suite of national returns?• Does it fit into any of our current reports? Would it require a stand alone collection?
