Market overview and analysis
A fair and sustainable care market is fundamental to the government’s wide-ranging and ambitious reforms to adult social care. We are committed to shaping healthy and diverse social care markets and ensuring the quality and safety of care. We have published our ‘cost of care report’ and our market sustainability plan. We are working with our ICB partners on market issues such as reviewing the local rates of care to help understand and support market sustainability at a sub-regional level and provide clearer guidelines to providers on quality, safety and partnership working.
We will continue to work with the market and our partners to ensure availability of a good choice of local housing options, reducing reliance on traditional residential and nursing care, moving towards more independent living and supporting people to live at home or in a home like setting wherever possible. We work closely with our housing partners to identify and deliver suitable housing for vulnerable residents and to support the building of inclusive and accessible homes.
Overview of quality
The proportion of regulated adult social care services rated good or above by Care Quality Commission (CQC) is better than comparator and national averages in terms of nursing care and homecare provision indicating that the quality of services within the borough is high. The proportion of residential care rated good and above is slightly lower than the national average. Local authorities, the NHS and partners have a wider responsibility to promote quality across all sectors, and our commissioners work with providers on quality improvements through our quality assurance team.
To help us to work with the market to foster continual improvement, we use the provider assessment and market management solution (PAMMS) which is an online assessment and auditing tool and framework which helps us assess the quality of care delivered by providers. It supports collaborative working with providers, identifying what is working well, and areas for improvement where we can provide additional support and advice.
