There has been talk of delaying the introduction from October 2023 to October 2024 and that is what I am expecting to hear on Nov 17th. They have a ready excuse that local authorities are not ready and as suggested by others here there are a lot of administrative issues to sort out for example the likelihood that people paying for care privately will want to be brought into the system to enable their costs to be counted towards the cap. In addition more people may choose to seek help with care if it is counted towards the cap rather than managing for longer to reduce the long term cost of care. As there is even now and acute shortage of carers the situation could get even worse. What's that saying - the best laid plans of mice and men...........
