The Big Care Debate

I attended a seminar at County Hall yesterday on the government's Green Paper on proposed radical changes to social care. The proposals outlined in 'The Big Care Debate', will probably be a big topic in the run up to the General Election next year. Read all about it here.

As a member of the LGA (Local Government Association) Community Well-being Board, we were briefed about this last month and were aware that our local authorities would be requested to send in a response. Oxfordshire County Council has drafted this at a meeting with the Cabinet Member this week.

This will be an opportunity to have your say on this important issue but there is not much time left before the consultation period ends on 13th November. Click on the website and send in your response as soon as you can. The final roadshow on the debate will take place in Bonn Square, Oxford on 13th November between 10am and 6pm, so you can go along to find out more.
