Budget announcement - what people said
|
|
| |
The ADASS response
Social care funding was not included in the Autumn Budget announcement. ADASS president Margaret Willcox expressed concerns and called for action, saying “The Government needs to heed the warnings from a wide range of respected voices by taking immediate steps to bring forward the funding and reforms needed to ensure that older and disabled people, and the rising number of working age adults, can get the care and support they need now and each and every day of their lives”.

NHS Confederation response
NHS Confederation have produced a briefing to help digest what the announcements mean for health and social care.

Closing the gap on health and social care
As health and social care work towards better integration, TLAP is exploring how best to add value and maximise its impact in promoting personalisation and community centred approaches. We are planning how to work in closer alignment with the Coalition for Collaborative Care, (C4CC), one of our key partners. We believe that this is an opportunity to have serious influence across health and care by bringing together the collective expertise and commitment of all C4CC and TLAP partners and stakeholders and people with lived experience.

One year on – a shared commitment to empowering communities
Many of you contributed to the sector wide shared commitment and call to action for engaging and empowering communities; one year on TLAP is inviting feedback from all co-signees and other stakeholders on the progress made. This will help us understand the gaps preventing us from building strong and inclusive communities and what the partnership can do to move the sector from rhetoric to reality. Please let us have your submissions by 30th January.

Policy experts will be meeting with the Principal Economist of Australia’s National Disability Insurance scheme to learn about their move to personal budgets in disability services and share our information and learning on how PBs can help drive efficiencies.

Personalised care for people with long term conditions: A changing GP approach
People with multiple long-term conditions account for about 50% of all GP appointments but we know that the current 10-minute GP consultation just doesn't allow enough time to effectively address all their health and wellbeing needs.
To address this problem, the Royal College of General Practitioners has been working with C4CC and NHS England to support GPs and primary care teams to develop person-centred approaches, where the conversation shifts from asking ‘what’s the matter with you to ‘what matters to you’.

Mental Capacity Act Toolkit.
The toolkit is intended for social care providers to ensure they always start with the assumption that a person has capacity to make a decision and if it is determined that they do not have the mental capacity that anything done for or on behalf of a person must be done in their best interests.
