If you are moving permanently we can only accept a referral to adult social care when you are registered with a GP in Cambridgeshire. If you have not moved yet. the Local Authority where you live should assess you and transfer your case with their assessment when you move.

If you are moving permanently and already have a care package, your current Local Authority will support your move to Cambridgeshire. We will take over the care package once you are a Cambridgeshire resident.
