General Submissions
We in Care Alliance make submissions on various topics throughout the year as opportunities arise. Each year we make in the region of 10 to 15 submissions and seek members input on a regular basis.
In some cases, these take the form of standalone documents which are available below. In others, these submissions take the form of online questionnaires etc., which are unavailable to share on this website. If you have any questions about any of our submissions, please contact Zoe, our Senior Policy & Research officer.
