Public views will be needed to draft new models of paying for care, the Manx health minister says.
Revisions to how people access and pay for residential, nursing and home care have been proposedPublic feedback is needed to fill in some of the detail in new models of providing nursing, residential and home care, the health minister has said.
Under the current system, people with assets pay for their care and much of the support offered is in a residential home setting, rather than at home.Of the two new proposals, one would introduce a "mixed model" that would see a threshold and cap on care fees, while the other would be a "free personal care model" without any specific charges.But Mr Hooper said it was important that "thresholds" were built in to the system by the Department of Health and Social Care.
