Adult social care: consultation analysis

This document analyses the responses received to the Law Commission’s consultation paper, Adult Social Care, published on 24 February 2010. The consultation paper set out 57 provisional proposals and 25 consultation questions on reforming the legal framework for adult social care. The overall aim of the reform is to provide a clearer, modern and more cohesive legal framework for adult social care. Publication of the consultation paper was followed by a 4 month period of public consultation, during which time 72 consultation events across England and Wales were attended and 231 formal responses were received from a wide range of consultees.
