Disappointing that social care minister Helen Whately seems to be refusing reform – changes are needed because the current system doesn’t work & local authorities are ‘under pressure’ because they have been starved of funding. However it is achieved, we need health and social care to be brought together to end the fractured delivery we currently have. Above all, we need greater funding for the sector so that we can tackle the 152,000-staffing shortage (by putting pay on a par with the NHS) and deliver care for the 1.6m who currently can’t get it. The argument has gone beyond party politics and silo thinking and reform just needs to be done. https://loom.ly/f4cy-z0

CIPFA's latest report, 'Charging for adult social care in England: reform and routes forward', assesses the proposed reforms in adult social care charging as outlined by the government in their recent proposal, 'Build Back Better: Our Plan for Health and Social Care.' Written by CIPFA Social Care Policy Advisor, Dr. William Burns, the report explores the implications of these reforms and how they will significantly impact the individuals seeking adult social care services. The planned charging reforms, originally scheduled for implementation in October 2023, have been postponed to October 2025. Here is an example of the journey under the proposed reforms. Read CIPFA's shorthand version of the report here: https://lnkd.in/eMxNrJGQ #AdultSocialCare #PublicSector

I don't know how our Local Authority colleagues feel about this but personally I think Helen Whately MP is correct on this one. The Local Authority has many responsibilities and yes they have to make decisions sometimes that aren't what they want to make and people get upset, but historical relationships have value and when all is done these relationships have held us together through some dark times. However, that said our sector and Local Authorities need the correct funding to not just deliver all the services they are expected to deliver but also especially within the care sector, have the funding to innovate and stress test innovate ideas to push the sector forward. fund them properly and encourage partnership working, utilise the relationships and different skill sets to produce better ways of working and for goodness sake remove so of the nonsense governance and politics that just hamstrings us all.

With the increased demand for services, the lasting effects of the pandemic, and the pressure to facilitate hospital discharges efficiently, local authority bodies navigate a complex landscape. Considering recent government funding, exploring avenues that address immediate needs and contribute to adult social care’s long-term efficiency and sustainability is imperative. Let's delve into those challenges and, because we're solutions-focused, what we can about it! #adultsocialcare #socialwork #safeguarding #localauthority

Strategic Account Executive at The Access Group | Local & Regional Government Social Care | Technology to support Commissioning and Market Oversight
For all of my Adult Social Care local & regional gov contacts; The requirement for Local Authorities to develop Market Position Statements emerged from the 2014 Care Act. In the Care Act, duties were placed on Local Authorities to ensure that there is a dynamic and effective Adult Social Care sector which can provide Adult Social Care services that meet the needs of residents in their area. Guidance states an MPS should supply and demand in the locality and signal opportunities in the care market. We've helped numerous LA, sub-regions and regions with their dynamic MPS, using live data to give clear oversight and information about their marketplace, including quality, spend, risk, demand, quality and outcomes. It's also used as a great tool for signposting freedom of information requests - taking the burden away from your teams by allowing self-service with live data. Come and talk to me if you're considering rewriting your MPS. Take a look at the quick video below or see two examples by visiting: https://lnkd.in/dQBr5j4N https://lnkd.in/diUQgi6R Local Government Association Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) Department of Health and Social Care Partners in Care and Health

Well worth checking out if your LA is still creating PDF Market Position Statements and not using live/up-to-date data!
