Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what guidelines he provides to local authorities on the commissioning of 24-hour care places for adults with severe disabilities.
This question was answered on 16th December 2016
The Care Act 2014 requires local authorities to meet a person’s eligible needs. Where a person requires 24 hour care local authorities should arrange services to meet those needs having regard to best practice guidance for example developed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
