National agenda The Care Act Sample Clauses

National agenda The Care Act. 2014 The Care Act 2014 represents the most significant reform of care and support in more than 60 years, putting people and their carers in control of their care and support. The element of the Act which places a limit on the amount anyone will have to pay towards the costs of their care has been delayed until 2020. However the principles of wellbeing and putting people in control of their care and support is policy direction which is, and will continue to be, reflected in the local redesign of service and the development of new models of care. The Act strengthens previous commitments to an integrated approach across organisations and health and social care boundaries, including a requirement of continuity during transition between children’s and adult services. Five Year Forward View NHS England has produced a five year forward view (October 2014). This document sets out a clear direction for the NHS-showing why change is needed and what it will look like. It supports patients being in control of their own care, and supports combined budgets with local government as well as personal budgets. It supports integration between GPs and hospitals, physical and mental health, health and care. It described a strategic direction which is in line with local plans and our Health and Wellbeing Board strategy. It also stresses a radical upgrade in prevention and public health. Public Health England has been created and public health commissioning responsibilities is now embedded in local government. Our local strategy reflects those ambitions to improve the health and support of our local population through prevention and self-care and community support, wherever possible. Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework (ASCOF) The ASCOF is part of a suite of three outcomes frameworks covering Health, Public Health and Adult Social Care along with an outcomes framework for training for care. The guidance that it provides sets a framework which supports the council to improve the quality of the care and support services it provides. At a national level it is the Department of Health’s main tool for setting direction and strengthening transparency in adult social care. There are clear inter-linkages between the three main outcomes frameworks and these enable priorities and work to be directed to supporting one and all.
