Wales seeks views on revised rules for arranging care and support services

The Welsh Government has opened a consultation on changes to the code used by councils, local health boards and NHS trusts to arrange care and support services. It is seeking comments until February 1, 2027.

The draft would give unpaid carers a stronger role in planning and reviewing services. It also proposes stronger standards for fair work, including the Real Living Wage, and for how care fees are set. The government plans to publish a summary and its response after reviewing submissions.
