Our Health, Our Care, Our Say

The government White Paper, Our Health, Our Care, Our Say published in 2006 indicated a new direction for health and social care in England.

The emphasis was 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
