Parliamentary review of Health and Social Care
Published: 17/05/2018
天涯社区鈥檚 Cabinet will be asked to consider a response to a
Parliamentary Review of Health and Social Care when it next meets later this
month.
The demand for health and social care has increased dramatically over the last
20 years, with changing needs, increased expectations and new forms of
treatment and care expanding the provision. This has created a significant
challenge for public services and this Parliamentary Review into Health and
Social Care was established by Welsh Government to identify how public services
might better anticipate and address the new demands being put upon them.
The final report was published in January 2018 which made ten recommendations
to Welsh Government as follows:
1. One seamless system for Wales - care should be organised around the
individual and their family as close to home as possible
2. The Quadruple Aim for all - underpin the 鈥渙ne System鈥� vision with four aims:
work together to deliver clear outcomes, improved health and wellbeing, a
cared-for workforce and better value for money.
3. Bold new models of seamless care 鈥� national principles, local delivery
4. Put the people in control 鈥� strengthen individual and community involvement
5. A great place to work - urgently align workforce
6. A Health & Care System that鈥檚 always learning
7. Harness innovation, and accelerate technology and infrastructure developments
8. Align system design to achieve results - Design the system better to achieve
faster progress
9. Capacity to transform, dynamic leadership, unprecedented cooperation -
increase capacity at a national level to drive transformation
10. Accountability, progress & pace 鈥� publish progress against the vision
It concluded that Wales needs a different system of health and care, and that
nobody should underestimate the scale of the challenge ahead.
天涯社区鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Social Services, Councillor
Christine Jones, said:
鈥淲e welcome this Parliamentary Review and the support that it has provided in
terms of our vision and strategic direction. The recommendations in the Review
confirm our direction of travel and has given us renewed confidence in relation
to our plans for the future.鈥�
The North Wales Regional Partnership Board (NWRPB), of which 天涯社区
County Council is a member, has been asked by Welsh Government to submit a
response setting out priorities for the region and to identify strengths in
terms of taking forward seamless models of health, care and well-being.
Councillor Jones continued:
鈥淚n preparation for this response, the NWRPB held a series of planning
workshops and, whilst some excellent examples of good practice have been
identified, including the proposed expansion of Marleyfield House Residential
Care Home in 天涯社区, we would agree with the Parliamentary Review that the
pace of change is slow.
鈥淭o speed this up, NWRPB has put forward suggestions which we hope to discuss
with the Minister for Children and Social Care when he attends the NWRPB
meeting in early July.鈥�
