Care services minister Paul Burstow has sent out a strong message to councils aimed at encouraging joint working across health and social care and making personalised care a reality. Ahead of his speech at the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services’ (ADASS) spring seminar in Newcastle, Mr Burstow today revealed the six sites which have been selected to pilot social work practices for adult social care. The social work practice pilots will see groups of frontline social care workers given more flexiblity to work with the people they support and their carers to improve their outcomes. In addition to this, the minister has announced plans to strengthen the legislation on direct payments to ensure councils make clear to every person entitled to care and support how they can make use of a direct payment.
