The Care and Support (Cross-border Placements and Business Failure: Temporary Duty) (Dispute Resolution) Regulations 2014

Schedule 1 to the Care Act 2014 (“the Act”) makes provision to ensure that where a local authority in England, Wales or Scotland, or a Health and Social Care trust in Northern Ireland (“an HSC trust”) places an adult in residential accommodation in another of those territories, in general, this does not result in the transfer of that authority’s responsibility for that adult. The relevant provisions are to be found in paragraphs 1 to 4 of Schedule 1.
