Detail of outcome

We believe that the closure of the ILF in 2015 should go ahead and that funding should be devolved to local government in England and the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales.

Original consultation

Summary

This consultation sought views on the impact that closing the ILF in 2015 would have on users, local authorities and wider care and support systems.

This consultation ran from
12 July 2012 to 11:45pm on 12 October 2012

Consultation description

The ILF was permanently closed to new applicants in December 2010, and the consultation was about the best way for those currently using the fund to become part of local social care arrangements.

The government sought views on how closure could be managed in a way which would minimise disruption to the care and support needs of existing ILF users.
