How the department resolves disputes in the health and social care sector when 2 or more local authorities cannot agree responsibility for meeting a person's eligible needs.

Details

The Department of Health and Social Care has published a document setting out its position on the determination of ordinary residence disputes pending the outcome of R (Worcestershire County Council) v Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and Swindon Borough Council (‘The Worcestershire case’).

Ordinary residence determinations show how the department arrives at decisions to resolve disputes in the health and social care sector when 2 or more local authorities cannot agree responsibility for meeting a person’s eligible needs.

These determinations are ‘anonymised’ because they do not name the individuals or councils involved.
