| Annotation | Nottingham City Council became a unitary authority in April 1998. This Joint Review provides an independent assessment of how well the public is being served by social services locally. While some people are served well in Nottingham, changes are needed to improve access, assessment and care management, and for there to be a better range of community support services. A Promoting Independence agenda has resulted in more rehabilitation for some people, enabling them to live at home. Developing links with health staff, with increasing multi-disciplinary team working, is beginning to improve responsiveness and quality of assessment for older people. Black and ethnic minority communities have a choice of culturally appropriate services; the Indian Community Centre is cited as an example of good practice. There is an increasing number of specialist services for people with dementia: the Clifton Dementia Project is a further example of good practice in Nottingham. (RH). |
