Members are being encouraged to give their views on the future of care and support to inform a Government White Paper on social care reform and a progress report on funding reform that will be published in spring 2012.
The Department of Health is gathering views on what professionals think the priorities need to be for the Government to focus on to improve the care and support system.
Six areas have been identified which are thought to have the biggest potential to make improvements to the care and support system, and the DoH wants to hear your views. Please add your comments or complete the feedback form.
Key leaders from the care and support community are helping lead discussions on the six broad themes of:
1. Quality – Imelda Redmond of CarersUK
2. Personalisation of care – Jeremy Hughes from Alzheimer’s Society
3. Integration – Geoff Alltimes from Hammersmith and Fulham Council and Dr Robert Varnham
4. Prevention and early intervention – Alex Fox of NAAPS
5. Shaping local care services – Peter Hay from the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS)
6. The role of financial services – Nick Kirwan from the Association of British Insurers (ABI)
