<p>The Government has committed to publishing a Green Paper on care and support by
summer 2018.</p><p>In developing the Green Paper, it is right that we take the time
needed to debate the many complex issues and listen to the perspectives of experts
and care users, building consensus around reforms which can succeed. This is why we
are starting a process of initial engagement over the coming months through which
Government will work with experts and stakeholders, including representatives from
local government, the NHS the voluntary sector and care providers, as well as care
users and carers to shape the long-term reforms that will be proposed in the Green
Paper. And when the Green Paper is published, it will then be subject to a full formal
public consultation, providing a further opportunity for all interested parties to
give their views, including Local Authorities and those affected by dementia.</p>
