Health written question – answered at on 11 July 2005.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health
(1) what mechanisms she is developing with the National Assembly for Wales Government to assess andshare good practice in the implementation of the Carers Equal Opportunities Act 2004 in England and Wales;
(2) when the policy and practice guidance on the implementation of the Carers' Equal Opportunities Act 2004 will be issued.
The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) is currently working on a web-based practice guidance to link with Departmental policy guidance. As SCIE covers England and Wales, this material will be relevant to both countries.
The Department hopes to publish the policy guidance for the Carers' Equal Opportunities Act 2004 by the end of July 2005. SCIE plans to produce the practice guidance and to publish it online in September 2005.
