9.00-5.00pm

LCS International in partnership with the Sunday Times take great pleasure in inviting you to join us on Thursday 8th November at One Birdcage Walk, Westminster, SW1H 9JJ.

This conference is one of the leading annual policy debates which uniquely brings together senior people in the private and public sectors. The conference is held against the background of the recent enactment of Health and Social Care legislation the Governement Reshuffle and this summer’s publication of a new White Paper on Social Care.

Participants include :

Lord Norman Warner, former Minister of State, DoH, and Chair, Dilnot Commission
David Behan CBE, Chief Executive, CQC
Baroness Judith Jolly, Lib Dem Co-Chair for Health and Social Care
Rt Hon Stephen Dorrell MP, Chair, Health Select Committee
Baroness Cumberlege, VP, Royal College of Nursing
Shaun Gallagher, Acting Director General for Social Care, DoH
Sarah Pickup, President of ADASS
Sir Cyril Chantler, Chair, UCL Partners
Joanne Shaw, Chair, NHS Direct

We anticipate discussions on the day around :

		The Nicholson Challenge and its impact on the pace of change following the enactment of the Health and Social Care legislation in March this year.

		New commissioning arrangements

		Changes in care pathways and integrated care.

		The Coalition Government’s proposals for rationalising regulations for Care of the Elderly, and persons with learning disabilities and mental illness, following the work of the Law Commission in 2009-2010.

		Possible changes in the funding of long-term care (Dilnot), that will not only address inadvertent bias in the system and difficulties faced by people who are asset rich but income poor, but also how the government will encourage insurers to enter into the sector.
