Under LAC (2002) 13 Fair Access to Care Services, each local authority has the power to determine the eligibility criteria for needs. Most local authorities meet critical and substantial needs. If these needs are recorded in a care plan and met for example through provision of domiciliary services or a direct payment, it may significantly reduce a person’s dependency upon their family. A family may become involved supporting low to moderate needs that cannot be funded by LA, or other forms of support. The duty of care remains with the local authority.
