Responses to Welsh social care bill consultation published

 Following a consultation on the proposed new Social Services (Wales) Bill which ran from March 12 to June 1 this year, the Welsh Government has published a report summarising the responses it had from across the sector from staff and experts working in the field.

The full report and some of the responses can be viewed here

The Deputy Minister for Children and Social Services, Gwenda Thomas, said:  "I am delighted to have received 275 written responses from a variety of stakeholders; and I will publish them all in full, where consent has been given, prior to the introduction of the Bill in January 2013.  

 "I am grateful for the support shown by individuals and organisations from across Wales in this Bill; and it shows once again, the important part that social services and social care play in all of our lives. 

"The premise for this consultation was to gauge the opinions of the experts –these are the commissioners and providers of services from across the public, Third and independent sectors; the people that use these services; and the people that care for those that use them. Every comment has been carefully considered and those comments have been central in bringing the Bill forward to this point."
