Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act Parts 3 and 4 - Assessment and Meeting Needs

This will come into operation in 2016 and there are important implications for the 3rd sector and their service users.

The consultation covers amendments as to the obligations of the Health Board and Local Authority, how services will be provided, how eligibility will be assessed, 3rd sector provision of Community and Well Being Services. We all agree that providing services in the community to maintain well being and independence is our aim, the question is in the detail of how it can be implemented.
