The Big Care Debate - have your say on the future of care and benefits

19 August 2009

Have your say on important proposals for social care reform as part of the Government's Big Care Debate. If you have Parkinson's, care for someone with Parkinson's or are a friend or family member, we would like to hear your views through our Big Care Questionnaire

The Government has outlined their proposals for social care reform in the Green Paper, Shaping the Future of Care Together

The Green Paper covers England but has huge implications for the whole of the UK, particularly in the light of proposals to abolish Attendance Allowance.

A National Care Service

The Government has proposed to change the way social care is funded and delivered, through the introduction of a National Care Service in England.

This would address many inequalities in social care around the country. These inequalities currently mean that many people with Parkinson's miss out on essential support.

The future of Attendance Allowance

Plans by the Government include proposals to scrap Attendance Allowance to help pay for these reforms.

We want to make sure that the Government understands the impact such a radical change could have on you.
