11 What does the draft bill do? 17th July 2013 What the draft bill does Clause/sCommentary Embedding the principle of wellbeing 1Embeds the promotion of individual wellbeing as the driving force behind care and support Reflecting broader local responsibilities 2-7Provisions which focus on more universal, population-level activities, including general duties on councils to: Provide information and advice Promote the diversity and quality of local services Cooperate with the other local organisations, and work to integrate services to promote wellbeing Provide services to prevent, delay or reduce people’s need for care and support. Starting the care journey: assessments and eligibility 8-16Sets out the process of assessments for both those who need care, and carers. The clauses set out the eligibility framework, with regulations on what constitutes eligible need, and how decisions on support are made. They also leave open the option to establish national eligibility in the future. Clause 16 allows for regulations requiting councils to offer deferred payment on a universal basis. Clear entitlements to care and support 17-22These clauses seek to create a single route through which consistent entitlements to care and support can be established. The clauses also clarify the circumstances in which care and support may not meet needs – such as when the responsibility rests with another organisation.

12 17th July 2013 What the draft bill does Clause/sCommentary Care planning and personal budgets 23-30These clauses set out what must happen after an assessment has been conducted, including the care and support planning process for agreeing how eligible needs will be met. As part of this process, the requirement of personal budgets to help people understand the cost of meeting their needs, and what public funding is available to them, will be part of the legislation. Moving between areas31-33These clauses deal with “portability” arrangements to ensure an individual's care and support is not interrupted by virtue of moving from one part of the country to another. A new framework for adult safeguarding 34-38Included in the draft bill is the first ever statutory framework for adult safeguarding, which sets out councils' responsibilities and those of the organisations they work with. Transition from children to adult services 39-44These clauses give councils the powers to assess children, young carers, and the carers of children, under the adult statute. Other provisions45-53A number of other important provisions are covered in these clauses including: An update of council powers to recover debts Restating and rationalising the provisions which focus councils and the NHS on reducing delayed discharges Allowing the Secretary of State to issue guidance to councils in relation to their functions in this bill Giving councils new powers to delegate some of their care and support functions to other organisations.
