| Annotation | The Inter-Agency Group on Adult Social Care (IAG) was set up in January 2005. It brings together agencies from the statutory, independent and voluntary sectors: Scope; Better Government for Older People (BGOP) and the Older People's Advisory Group (OPAG); Carers UK; LMCA Alliance for Health; Hanover; Community Services Volunteers (CSV); the NHS Confederation; the Association of Directors of Social Services (ADSS); Voluntary Organisations Disability Group (VODG); the National Association of Adult Placement Schemes (NAAPS); the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health; Age Concern; Mencap; the English Community Care Association (ECCA); the Mental Health Foundation; and the Improvement and Development Agency (I&DeA). IAG's aim is to influence the government agenda on health and adult social care. The IAG commissioned this paper as part of a longer-term programme of work on adult social care and community well-being. The paper is designed to build on principles in the White Paper, "Our health, our care, our say" (Cm 6737; TSO, 2006), and to analyse the potential contribution of the local government White Paper, "Strong and prosperous communities" (Cm 6939; TSO, 2006). The paper looks at how health and social care can be better integrated at national and local level. It identifies some practical next steps, these being illustrated by examples from a range of settings in which relevant developments are already taking place. (RH). |
