<p>Such information is not available as no decisions on detailed policy design have
yet been made. The consultation, <em>Modernising Support for Independent Living: The
Health and Disability Green Paper, </em>is instead about opening up a broader conversation
about how we could reshape the current welfare system to provide better targeted support
to those who need it most.</p><p>Part of the Green Paper explores alternative ways
of supporting people to live independent and fulfilling lives. This could mean financial
support being better targeted at people who have specific extra costs, but it could
also involve improved support of other kinds, such as physical or mental health treatment.</p><p>The
Green Paper was published on Monday 29 April and the 12 week consultation will close
on Monday 22 July.</p><p>We encourage everyone to respond to the consultation so that
we are able to hear from as many people as possible on these important issues, including
disabled people, people with health conditions, their representatives, and other stakeholders.</p>
