Call for views on Stage 2 of NCS Bill extended
Following a joint letter from partners including CCPS the deadline for submissions to the consultation is now 20th September

Following a jointly written letter to the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee from a range of partners in the sector, including CCPS, the submission date for views on the changed NCS Bill has been extended to the 20th of September.
Signatories include member organisations and representatives, and people with lived experience.
The welcomed deadline extension allows for sufficient time to consider the significant proposed changes to the National Care Service Bill.
The form to submit your views can be found here.
Responding to the news, our CEO Rachel Cackett said:
“We are delighted to see the committee extend the deadline for responses following a sector wide request. This change allows vital time for organisations to consider the amendments proposed.
“We are in unchartered water with this Bill and the scale of draft changes mean more time is needed to consider implications for reform. CCPS looks forward to submitting an evidenced and constructive response to the call for views.”
