National framework for commissioning care and support: proposed revisions
This consultation seeks your views on the draft revised National Framework for Commissioning Care and Support: Code of Practice (the revised code).
The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 (the 2014 Act) gives the Welsh Ministers the power under section 145 to issue, and revise, codes of practice requiring local authorities to act in accordance with requirements in the code of practice when exercising their social services functions.
Local authorities must also have regard to any guidance set out in the code of practice.
Section 169 of the 2014 Act and section 2 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006 (the 2006 Act) give the Welsh Ministers the power to issue guidance to local health boards and NHS trusts.
Local health boards and NHS trusts will be directed to exercise their relevant functions in accordance with the requirements contained within the code of practice.
You must submit your response for it to be considered.
