Eligibility Criteria Consultation

Adult Social Services are consulting on changing the eligibility criteria for adult social care from ‘moderate’ to ‘substantial’. The consultation period ends on the 31st October 2014 and they would like feedback from as many people as possible in Powys.

If you have not already done so, please could you spare some time to provide some feedback?

Below is the link to the questionnaire for any comments which you may have. In addition, if there is anyone that you know who could be affected by this change, could you please forward the questionnaire to them.

Councillor Darren Mayor, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Adult Social Care has explained: “We are asking people for their views before Cabinet takes a decision on this matter. If we do go ahead with this it will bring us into line with the great majority of Welsh councils. However, before we take a decision, we want to hear people’s views on the proposal.”

Details of the proposal, along with the questionnaire can be found at www.powys.gov.uk/haveyoursay. Paper copies of the survey can be collected from Powys libraries for those who do not have access to the internet.
