Have your say on Central Bedfordshire's plan for Adult Social Care
Monday, 19 February 2024
Residents are asked for their views on our five-year plan for Adult Social Care.
A draft strategy has been written looking at the vision for Adult Social Care, the key priorities and how these will be delivered, and the difference it will make for residents now and in the future.
It also addresses the challenges facing Adult Social Care both locally and nationally and how these will be tackled through four key priorities.
These priorities are:
-
Promoting independence and wellbeing
-
Building resilient communities and keeping vulnerable people safe
-
Making best use of available resources
-
Shaping and supporting the care market and workforce.
Councillor Mark Smith, Executive Member for Adult Social Care, said:
We want to hear from all residents across Central Bedfordshire, not just from people who currently access adult social care services but from those who may have a future need for themselves or their loved ones. We also want to hear from unpaid carers and organisations in the voluntary and community sector to help ensure our strategy meets the needs of everyone, and that we are focused on the priorities that matters most to people.
