Text
Responsibility for ensuring equitable access to domiciliary care rests with each trust. At a regional level, the Department works closely with the trusts through the social care collaborative reform board and its implementation groups. My Department has developed a 10-year strategic plan together with a three-year delivery plan to implement a reform agenda. Domiciliary care is an important element of that, and one of the social care collaborative reform board subgroups has been tasked with developing a sustainable adult social care system that can meet the future needs of people who require care and support. The work includes establishing a new regional model for domiciliary care, including an updated domiciliary care contract. My Department has held a series of round-table meetings with key stakeholders from across the sector. The purpose was to explore and learn from good practice in each of the trusts and to review any additional measures that could be taken.
