It must then decide if the person has eligible needs by considering the outcomes the person wants to achieve, what needs they have, and how these impact on their wellbeing. Where a person is assessed as having eligible care and support needs, these must be met by their local authority. For those who do not meet the eligibility criteria, local authorities should signpost people to relevant services.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 08/02/2018 12:12:36 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
