Independent Age and our partners within the Care and Support
Alliance have set up a petition on Direct.gov.uk to urge the
government to accept the findings of the Dilnot Commission and
translate its recommendations into real improvements to the social
care system that can stand the test of time.
Dilnot proposes a cap on care bills - a national system of
eligibility - a new advice and information service for families
accessing care. We urge the Government to accept these
recommendations in its White Paper on Social Care, which it has
promised by Easter 2012.
If you support these changes, which we believe are fair,
equitable and sustainable ways to improve a failing system that
supports millions of older people then follow the link below and
let the government know that change is needed.
