On the 19 February 2010 the Secretary of State for Health, the Rt Hon Andy Burnham MP, invited key stakeholders from the Care and Support Alliance and a number of other organisations, including political parties, to attend the Care and Support Conference.
These key voices in the care and support world discussed the issues facing the care and support system, to give their views to national and local politicians.
It was a helpful, broad ranging, high level discussion that helped to build consensus towards a White Paper.
The Central Office of Information (COI) facilitated the event, and has produced a report on behalf of the Department of Health.
The report is a summary of the event and summarises views given by attendees.
