question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the effect of the delay in reform of social care funding until 2020 on the provision of social care; and how many people will be affected by that delay in (a) St Helens North constituency, (b) the North West and (c) the UK.

tabling member printed	Conor McGinn
uin	11088
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2015 answer text <p>We remain committed to the implementation of the cap on care costs, which will offer financial protection and peace of mind. The decision to delay followed careful consideration of feedback from stakeholders that April 2016 was not the right time to implement these significant and expensive reforms. The benefits of the cap have had to be weighed against the need to focus on supporting the system that supports the most vulnerable.</p><p>In reaching the difficult decision to delay we considered the impact on those who would have entered the cap system from April next year. Though they will not benefit from the additional help straightaway, many will still benefit from the cap system when it is introduced in 2020. The delay will allow local authorities time to focus on consolidating the important reforms to care and support introduced on 1 April 2015, laying the groundwork to implement the funding reforms as successfully as possible in 2020.</p><p>Based on the most recent impact assessment, had the cap system been implemented in April 2016, around 23,000 older people in England would have benefitted immediately in 2016/17 and by 2025/26 up to 80,000 additional older people would have received state support.</p><p>Information regarding how many people will be affected by the delay in specific constituencies or regions is not held in the format requested.</p><p>Means-tested financial support remains available for those who cannot afford to pay for care to meet their eligible needs.</p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 14/10/2015 15:53:16 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
