<p>My Rt. hon. Friend the First Secretary of State and Minister for the Cabinet Office,
Damian Green, has announced this month that the Government will publish a Green Paper
on care and support for older people by summer 2018. The Green Paper will set out
proposals to reform care and support for older people.</p><p> </p><p>With the shifts
we are seeing in society, including our ageing population, caring will increasingly
become a core part of family life for all of us. That is why the Green Paper will
include a focus on unpaid care and how our society supports carers as a vital part
of a sustainable health and social care system.</p><p> </p><p>Ahead of the Green Paper’s
publication, the Department will continue to lead a cross-Government programme of
targeted work to support carers.</p><p> </p><p>Once the Green Paper is published by
summer 2018, it will be subject to a full public consultation.</p>
