National Personalisation in Health and Care Conference 25 September 2013 The future of health and social care Richard Humphries Assistant Director, Policy, The King’s Fund r.humphries@kingsfund.org.uk
Overview: • Overview • Personalisation in context • 65 years of change – what past & future trends means for the future of services • the Barker Commission • Questions
Real terms spending on adult social care is falling - The latest: 5% drop since 2010 Source: NHS & Social Care Information Centre
Fewer people receiving adult social care services… Changes in expenditure and numbers of care users, by user group and care setting(index 2006/07=100)
A significant rise is expected in chronic and multiple chronic disease
The issues in summary: • More of us, living longer, with more things wrong us • mixture of physical & mental health and care and support needs • Traditional model of care is based on acute treatment, reactive & crisis driven • Shift from public to private delivery of care services • Shift to private and co-payment funding of care services…..whilst NHS remains largely free at point of use • Who pays for what - ad hoc, arbitrary, confusing • Financial sustainability & equity of separate systems • The NHS and adult social care ‘offers’ continue to diverge
Integrated care – what’s new • Focus on coordination of care around individual needs • Pioneer programme • Transformation fund - £3.7b • (£1b performance related) • Two year plan (for 2014/15 & 2015/16) must be in place by March 2014 • Plans to be developed jointly by CCGs & Las, signed off by each other & HWBs
The Commission will examine the way in which health and social care is organised and funded and will consider whether the systems could be better aligned to meet the needs of patients and service-users. It will consider three broad questions. Does the boundary between health and social care need to be redrawn? If so, where and how? What other ways of defining health and social care needs could be more relevant/useful? Should the entitlements and criteria used to decide who can access health and care be aligned? If so, who should be entitled to what and on what grounds? Should health and social care funding be brought together? If so, at what level (ie, local or national) and in what ways? What is the balance between the individual and the state in funding services?
