Have you been paying for care?As part of our campaign for an end to the unfair system of charging for care, we are encouraging people to examine whether they have been wrongly charged for care and, if so, to seek redress. This leaflet explains how to do so.

But it can be easier if you are armed with the right information. This booklet can help people facing that kind of decision by setting out what issues to consider and questions to ask.
