COMMENTARY ON SECTIONS Section 14 – Amendments to the Health and Social Services and Social Security Adjudications Act 1983
32.This section amends the legislation under which local authorities in England and Wales currently charge for non-residential care services.  It provides that, except in relation to services provided under section 2 of the Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000 in the form of residential care, section 17 of the Health and Social Services and Social Security Adjudications Act 1983 shall apply only to an authority in England.  For local authorities in Wales, section 17 will continue to apply only in relation to services provided under section 2 of the Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000 in the form of residential care.  In the case of non-residential services the charging regime will be governed by this Measure and regulations to be made under the Measure.
