answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>Following a consultation on draft regulations and guidance earlier this year we received a number of responses from across the care and support sector which called for a delay in the implementation of these reforms. Since the election we have continued to hear these concerns. During this time we have continued to work closely with the Local Government Association (LGA) and Association of Directors of Adult Social Care and there have been a number of discussions within Government and with other interested organisations to determine the way forward. On 1 July the LGA wrote a letter calling for a delay in implementation of these reforms.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have listened to the concerns expressed by the LGA and others and that is why we decided to delay implementation until April 2020 as announced in a written ministerial statement on 17 July, repeated today in the House of Commons <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2015-07-20/HCWS145/" target="_blank">(HCWS145).</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt grouped question UIN 7440 question first answered 20/07/2015 16:42:34 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
