11. Social Care and Health working together 00A – 31 Jan Why does England need to change? A reminder of the present system – Based on matching a limited range of services to people’s assessed needs – not meeting growing expectations – Costs are rising and services are under increasing demographic pressures - Many services are still very ‘traditional’ – Many people assess the current situation as being ‘in crisis’

12. Social Care and Health working together 00A – 31 Jan Building a Society for All Ages Local authorities' response – Commissioners are still buying commodities and focusing on unit costs – time/task etc – and NOT outcomes - Looking to make efficiency savings (including shifting large volumes of in-house services to the private and voluntary sectors) (Different in England to Scotland) – Changing eligibility criteria to restrict access. The current system of social care is not sustainable

13. Social Care and Health working together 00A – 31 Jan The Cost of Healthcare NHS spending represents 7.3% of UK GDP £20bn efficiency savings needed in 2011/14 (equivalent of 6% of NHS budget) Parliamentary moves to reduce spending on healthcare, social care and public spending generally People are to take more responsibility for their own health, their own care

Social Care and Health working together 00A – 31 Jan The Cost of Social Care (PSS) Diverging patterns of social care commissioning across UK £20.7 bn on PSS in 2007/08 £15.3 bn on adults and older people’s PSS - 48% on residential care - 43% on domiciliary care 40,000 new referrals every week 1.77m clients receiving PSS in 07/08 Fewer and fewer people to provide services More and more people needing services
