Have your say

Welcome to Community Care’s new online discussion forum
‘Have your say’ which gives people working in the
social care sector an opportunity to express opinions on a current
issue.

All you have to do is click
here to make your point.

This week’s issues are: the government’s
proposals for free nursing care and how the needs of older people
in care homes are assessed. Do you think the government’s plans for
banded amounts depending on the level of need will exacerbate
rationing of services?

And the National Care Standards Commission – will it help
service users? and do you think it will have a positive effect on
services?
