Disabled People: Social Care
My Lords, a Green Paper on the future of care and support will be published early next year. The public debate is informing several key strands of policy discussions, one of which is about the portability of care packages and addresses the question of local flexibility versus national consistency. It would not be appropriate at this stage to pre-empt the outcome of the debate or the policy analysis by making specific commitments about the Green Paper.

Disabled People: Social Care
My Lords, my noble friend is completely right. The whole House knows that he is a leading and very successful campaigner in this arena. My noble friend knows, as he acknowledged, that the Government have not stood still while waiting for the publication of the Green Paper. We have had a 45 per cent increase in local council services and extended the right to personal budgets so that people can have control over their own care. The issue of portability of care to allow disabled people to move from one part of the country to another is a fundamental component of the system being addressed in the Green Paper review. It can be addressed only as part of the wider review, because of its implications for local and national accountability, democracy and the control of budgets. However, that does not mitigate the need for local authorities to have a duty to ensure that, when a disabled person moves into their area, a proper assessment is made of their needs and that those needs are addressed.

My Lords, the noble Baroness raises an important point. The consultation process involves the public and stakeholders—indeed, I am attending a public consultation this weekend—and precisely that issue has been raised. It is part of our consideration in the preparation of the Green Paper.
