Details of local and regional activities to transform adult social care can be found in the publication ‘Delivering Putting People First in the West Midlands’, an account of what took place at the Transforming Adults Social Care (TASC) summit held in July this year.
The booklet, available free of charge, showcases best practice in the region and the work underway to reach five milestones during the first phase of transformation by April 2011.
Regional milestones agreed by the Department of Health (DH), the Association for Directors for Adult Social Services (ADASS) and Improvement and Efficiency West Midlands (IEWM) are that:
• transformation of adult social care has been developed in partnership with existing service users (both public and private), their carers and other citizens interested in these services
• a process is in place to ensure all those eligible for council funded social care support will receive a personal budget via a suitable assessment process
• partners are investing in cost effective preventative interventions which reduce the demand for social care and health services
• citizens have access to information and advice regarding how to identify and access options available in their communities to meet their care and support needs
• service users are experiencing broadening of choice and improvement in quality of care and support services built upon involvement of key stakeholders (councils, Primary Care Trusts, service users, providers, third sector organisations etc), that can meet the aspirations of all local people – whether council or self funded - wanting to procure social care services.
