Under Part 4 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 (“the Act”) a local authority may meet a person’s care and support needs by providing accommodation. Regulations under section 57 of the Act may provide that where a local authority is going to meet needs under sections 35 to 38 of the Act by providing or arranging for the provision of accommodation of a specified type for a person, and the person concerned has expressed a preference for particular accommodation of that type, the local authority must provide or arrange for the provision of the preferred accommodation. These Regulations apply to cases where a local authority is meeting care and support needs of adults and children through provision of care home accommodation.
