Local Government ExplainedCIPFA and LGIU: a national care service series
This joint project from LGIU and CIPFA has sought to understand the different paths towards a National Care Service in England, Scotland and Wales, and what each nation can learn from the others.
- What do policymakers mean when they talk about National Care Services?
- What progress has been made in each nation?
- What factors help to make successful adult social care reform and what gets in the way?
- What is the position of local government in the future of adult social care?
- How will the ever-challenging problem of funding be solved?
- Where next for National Care Services?
We have published a series of briefings aiming to answer these questions, all available below. We will also be contributing to the ongoing policy debates in each nation. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected]
