Adult Social Care - national policy context

Answer:

Care in the UK primarily falls under the Care Act 2014. Subsequent attempts to reform the system and address recognised issues with the country’s care system have largely stalled or remain incomplete.

In December 2021 the previous Conservative government published a white paper, ‘People at the Heart of Care’, outlining its 10-year vision to transform support and care in England.

The new Labour government has announced its intention to create a 'National Care Service' and improve NHS and social care integration as part of a 10-year plan for reform. Further details have yet to be published.

Care Quality Commission regulated services

Answer:: As of 2023/24, Tower Hamlets had 81 Care Quality Commission (CQC)-regulated services, including 11 residential and 70 non-residential services.
