Sutton's Care Act Consultation
Overview
Sutton’s Future
As a result of unprecedented cuts from the government, Sutton Council needs to save £74m from its annual budget by 2019.
We have already saved £43m through increasing efficiency, sharing services and changing some services, however, we must save a further £31m by 2019.
It is becoming harder every year to find ways of making the savings. We are now having to make some difficult decisions about whether to keep, reduce or change services or stop them.
There will be greater need for you to take more responsibility for looking after our borough. Through Sutton’s Future we would like to have a conversation with you about how we can achieve this together.
This autumn, we are consulting on a number of topics including the future of our libraries, children’s centres and youth services. In addition, we are consulting on the changes to adult social services brought about by the Care Act 2014.
More information on Sutton’s Future and the different consultations is available at www.sutton.gov.uk/suttonsfuture
Why your views matter
Why are we consulting?
The new Care Act made changes and introduced some options to the way in which people can be financially assessed and supported to pay for the adult social care and support they receive.
The new law enables councils to be more generous when setting eligibility criteria for providing adult social care. It also provides discretion over some parts of the charging rules and introduces services for carers and self funders.
All new legislation comes with regulations and statutory guidance which clarifies what councils must do, or can choose to do, to apply the new law. As all the changes in the law could result in additional costs to the council, it must decide whether it should recover some or all of these costs, and if so, how.
In relation to the Care Act, the Council will refer to all the regulations and guidance provided by the government regarding charging and financial assessment.
