Press Release: National Care Association’s Cautious Response to the Secretary of State for Health’s Statement on the Social Care White Paper and on Social Care Spending Reform
Below is a link to the Press Release issued by us yesterday.
National Care Association was formed in 1981. Its primary aim is to lobby the Government to benefit both its members and the people in their care. The other aims are representing members and their service users nationally, to promote high standards of care, and to support local associations and members.
NCA’s Chief Executive is Mrs Sheila Scott OBE. Sheila was formerly a homeowner. She was seconded to the Department of Health Community Care Support Force for seven months in 1992/93 when NCA was successful in securing the ring fencing of 85% of the Special Transitional Grant for the independent sector and the Directive on Choice. Most recently, Sheila has been involved with the National Minimum Standards and in warning the Government of the effects these would have on many care providers. She now advises the Government on the effects of implementing the Care Standards and campaigns to achieve equality for all providers of care.
