Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult social care was the first major social policy domain in England to be transferred from the state to the market. There is now a forty-year period to look back at to consider the thinking behind the strategy, the impacts on commissioners and providers of care, on the care workforce and on those who use care and support services. In this book, Bob Hudson meticulously charts these shifts. He challenges the dominant market paradigm, explores alternative models for a post-Covid-19 future and locates the debate within the wider literature on political thinking and policy change.

This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health care and adult social care services in England. This report describes the state of health care and adult social care services in England in 2011/12. The report has two main sections, dealing with the shape of care provision and the quality and safety of services. Each section looks at the different care sectors in turn: NHS healthcare, independent healthcare, dental care and adult social care. Overall the Care Quality Commission found that the increasing complexity of conditions and greater co-morbidities experienced by people are impacting on the ability of care providers to deliver person-centred care that meets individuals needs. It is also seeing increasing pressures on staff, both in terms of the skills required to care for people with more complex conditions and in terms of staff numbers.

Download or read book The state of health care and adult social care in England written by Care Quality Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-02-10 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Care Quality Commission's first yearly report to Parliament on the state of health care and adult social care in England. It covers the services that the Commission regulates which include: adult social care services (care homes and home care agencies); NHS and independent health care services; and primary care trusts (PCTs) and councils, which provide and purchase health care and adult social care services for their community. Whilst great improvements have been made over recent years there remains unacceptable variation, and a small number of services or organisations do not meet minimum standards of safety and quality. The future presents a major challenge. The Government expects that, in 20 years' time, 1.7 million more adults in England will have a care and support need. At the same time, we are entering a period when public finances will be stretched and expectations of choice and control are increasing. To help meet these challenges, there needs to be real acceleration in joining up health and social care and centring it on people's needs

Download or read book Adult social care written by Great Britain: Law Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-05-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report on Adult Social Care recommends the most far-reaching reforms of adult social care law seen for over 60 years. Under the proposals, older people, disabled people, those with mental health problems and carers will, for the first time, be clear about their legal rights to care and support services. And local councils across England and Wales will have clear and concise rules to govern when they must provide services. Since the National Assistance Act 1948 adult social care law has been the subject of countless piecemeal reforms including new Acts of Parliament and a constant stream of regulations, circulars, directions, approvals and guidance. The proliferation of law has led to inefficiency in the system. Complex law also has the effect of stifling innovation, and make it difficult to promote flexibility and new policy approaches in practice. The report is divided into twelve Parts. Part 2 defines adult social care and Part 3 the structure of reform adopted. Parts 4 through to 8 set out core recommendations: Part 4 considers the role of statutory principles in providing an overall framework for decision making; Part 5 covers the role of community care assessments in determining a person's needs; Part 6 considers eligibility for services; Part 7 explores the equivalent assessment and eligibility processes for carers; and Part 8 considers the provision of services. Part 9 considers local authority adult protection functions. Finally, Parts 10 to 12 consider other issues, including ordinary residence and portability; areas where adult social care overlaps with other areas of law; and other outstanding issues.

Download or read book Adult Social Care written by Ferguson, Iain and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult social care in Britain has been at the centre of much media and public attention in recent years. Revelations of horrific abuse in learning disability settings, the collapse of major private care home providers, abject failures of inspection and regulation, and uncertainty over how long-term care of older people should be funded have all given rise to serious public concern. In this short form book, part of the Critical and Radical Debates in Social Work series, Iain Ferguson and Michael Lavalette give an historical overview of adult social care. The roots of the current crisis are located in the under-valuing of older people and adults with disabilities and in the marketisation of social care over the past two decades. The authors critically examine recent developments in social work with adults, including the personalisation agenda, and the prospects for adult social care and social work in a context of seemingly never-ending austerity.

Download or read book Fairer care funding written by Commission on Funding of Care and Support and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-07-04 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The independent Commission on Funding of Care and Support, set up by the Government last July, was asked to recommend a fair and sustainable funding system for adult social care in England. This report is the presentation of their findings. Recommendations put forward include: Individuals' lifetime contributions towards their social care costs - which are currently potentially unlimited - should be capped. After the cap is reached, individuals would be eligible for full state support. This cap should be between £25,000 and £50,000. The Commission considers that £35,000 is the most appropriate and fair figure; The means-tested threshold, above which people are liable for their full care costs, should be increased from £23,250 to £100,000; National eligibility criteria and portable assessments should be introduced to ensure greater consistency; and all those who enter adulthood with a care and support need should be eligible for free state support immediately rather than being subjected to a means test. The Commission estimates that its proposals - based on a cap of £35,000 - would cost the State around £1.7billion

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The older you are, the poorer you are and the more long term medical conditions you have, the more likely you are to be admitted to hospital or to die, if those conditions progress or if you get any new acute illness, including COVID-19. This is a covert manifesto for age discrimination and discrimination against the old, sick and disabled.......... Nearly 12 million people in the UK are over 65 and 3 million are over 80. That’s a lot of people to dismiss casually. These include our parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents, our current or future selves. These are citizens who have contributed to society, families, workplaces and the economy. They are as entitled to protection and care as the rest of us. Unless the Covid-denialists and lockdown sceptics can serve up some useful solutions with their rhetoric, they need to stop the discriminatory dog whistles. I can guarantee if it were a member of their own family who got sick, they wouldn’t be saying “they have a pre-existing condition so let them die”. David Oliver, an experienced NHS acute hospital consultant.
