Our Health, Our Care, Our Say
The government White Paper,
Our Health, Our Care, Our Say published
in 2006 indicates a new direction for health and social care in
England, with the emphasis on providing more personalised services
and giving people a stronger voice so that they become major
drivers of service improvement.
The document pledges more support for people with long-term
conditions to be able to manage these themselves. There is also a
focus on delivering:
- more integrated care via the development of personal health and
social care plans
- integrated social and health care records
- joint health and social care teams to support those people with
ongoing conditions who have the most complex needs
