| Annotation | A short document launched in December 2007, 'Putting people first: a shared vision and commitment to the transformation of adult social care', brought together no fewer than five Secretaries of State, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury and organisations such as the Local Government Association (LGA) and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS). Although it summarises adult social care visions and values, Des Kelly questions the aspirational, upbeat language used. He also notes the "apparently new money" being provided by the Social Care Reform Grant of £520 million over 3 years. He also refers to the Demos report, 'Making it personal' (2008), which suggests that personalisation should become part of mainstream policy and provision, but is cautious about self-directed approaches to care. He concludes that more consideration needs to be given to the transitional phases in introducing new systems, and to the stakeholders including service recipients. This article appeared in the April 2008 issue of Care Management Matters (www.caremanagementmatters.co.uk). (RH). |
