Text
The funding is absolutely transformational, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to switch how we intervene for families with young people who have real issues. It is an opportunity to keep them out of care and get away from reactive, statutory interventions to early, community-based support. That is entirely consistent with my desire for the health and social care system to shift left to the neighbourhood model. I am very grateful to the transformation fund for the funding, which is just shy of £30 million, and I promise that it will be well used.
