“Providing more joined up health and social care for people in their homes or in their local communities remains a key priority for both NHS partners and ourselves.
The Better Care Fund allows us to channel funding to support schemes which help us achieve this goal. In the long-run this is not only better for residents and more affordable for taxpayers, but actually reduces pressure on NHS hospitals.
Together with NHS partners we continue to make good progress, but recognise there is still more to be done to ensure that everyone across Staffordshire has access to quality community care.”
Alan White, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Health, Care and Wellbeing |
