medium and large providers Charities/corporates/independents
The Need for Change
Fragmented servicesCuts to health and social careDependency based system Cliff edge, means-tested funding Variable services Poor commissioning for budgets not needLack of consumer choice
A new vision for care and support
From crisis to wellbeing From state to individual needs From dependency to independence From receiver to contributor From disability to re-ablement From separation to integration From ignorant to informed consumer From isolation to community action
Opportunities and Challenges Developing the market: integration of
housing, health and social care Creative approaches: holding values
and developing services Mixed business models Partnerships: charity/private/social
enterprise Diversification/responding to need Development of sub-acute services Hubs of expertise and involvement Efficiencies and outcomes
The system must respond by:
Developing a long term funding system Building a system on quality not cost Integrating health and social care Developing outcome measures Offer direct payments for all services Understand the true costs of care Value and reward quality Reduce bureaucracy Develop and pay the workforce
