Scrutiny of the Care and Support (Eligibility) (Wales) Regulations 2015

Eligibility - The Health and Social Care Committee has agreed to undertake scrutiny of the Care and Support (Eligibility) (Wales) Regulations 2015 , which will be made under the Social Services and Well-being Act 2014. The draft Regulations were published by the Welsh Government on 8 May, and there will be a 60 day scrutiny period before a resolution for their approval can be considered by the Assembly. During this period, the Committee would like to hear the views of those with an interest on the draft Regulations.

The draft Regulations should be considered alongside the Code of Practice on the exercise of social services functions in relation to part 4 (Meeting needs) of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014.

The Committee would be grateful for your views on:

whether the draft Regulations and Code of Practice as drafted:
will achieve the desired aims of the Act;
are appropriate to ensure the right access to care and support for people who require it in Wales;
sufficiently address any concerns previously raised;
whether there are likely to be any barriers to the implementation of the provisions; and the likely consequences of the draft Regulations and Code of Practice for current and future service users and carers.
