Clause 57 Welfare Reform Bill Mon 21-Aug-06 08:12 AM
Can anybody tell me the DWP's definition of 'personal care'? Does it have to be hands-on physical care, or would supervision and support for Mental Health and Learning Disabilites clients count as 'personal care'? Thanks.

I've not seen any reference to a specific definition of 'personal care'. The concern is that the Bill potentially greatly widens the current definition. The implications of this have been raised by the LGA.
