Independence, Wellbeing and Choice …move from a system where people have to take what is offered to one where people have greater control over identifying the type of support or help they want and more choice about and influence over the services on offer.
Our Health, Our Care Our Say • Choice and control via: • Better information and signposting • People at centre of assessment • More Direct Payments • Introduction of individual budgets
Individual budgets – part of major system shift? Individual budgets offer a radical new approach, giving greater control to the individual, opening up the range and availability of services to match needs, and stimulating the market to respond to new demands from powerful users of social care This new approach will require radical changes to the way services are organised and delivered…will help shift resources away from services that do not meet needs or expectations
Shift to real choice and control requires levers and mechanisms as well as exhortation and guidance • Key system changes in respect of the allocation, control and use of resources – shifting money power • Re-balancing of risk/flexibility equation • Performance assessment based on outcomes linked to citizenship • Demonstrably effective ways of getting efficiency via individual design • Demonstrably effective ways of controlling budgets at the same time as shifting power
Some background… • Cross-Government project – Department of Health, Department for Work and Pensions (Office for Disability Issues) and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister • Policy commitment to piloting individual budgets: • Improving the Life Chances of Disabled People (Strategy Unit, January 2005) • Opportunity Age (Department for Work and Pensions, March 2005) • Independence, Well-being and Choice (Department of Health, March 2005) • Our health, our care, our say (Department of Health, January 2006)
