Judith Davis| The specifics of Birmingham Better Care

What is Birmingham Better Care? Better Care is Government Policy to bring together health and social care in places which will improve outcomes for individuals and deliver a more cost effective health and social system. Although called the Better Care Fund there is no new money and much of the money in the mandatory pooled budget is pooled with commitments. The current pool includes community service budgets such as community nursing which technically puts these resources under the stewardship of the Health and Wellbeing Board There are a number of must do’s within the policy. You will all see on a daily basis patients, particularly the frail elderly who should benefit from this policy. But there are a number of overlaps with other policies which we need to work through

‘I statements’ | a common narrative across the city I want to stay at home for as long as possible I want help to understand my illness and how to manage it I don’t need experts all the time I worry about having to go into hospital and about when I can’t look after myself anymore I worry about my carers GP surgeries are important points for me but I don’t always need to see a doctor I need people who can help and advise me, not put barriers in my way to stop me getting what I need I want to be understood Priorities 1.Keeping people well where they live 2.Making help easier to get 3.Better Care at times of crisis 4.Making the right decisions when people can no longer cope
