| Annotation | Melanie Henwood asks why more reference was not made to parallel national work in the report, 'Getting personal : a fair deal for better care and support' by Hampshire County Council's Commission of Inquiry into Personalisation. Her analysis leads her to conclude that the Hampshire Commission recommends retaining the Fair Access to Care system (FACS), and that there should be a single resource allocation system (RAS). She outlines these and other recommendations: a Universal Offer; free urgent care; a savings disregard; the legal framework; benefits; joint working with health services (including targeted early intervention and prevention); user involvement; carers; the market and infrastructure; risk, quality and outcomes; the workforce; and place shaping and community capacity. She concludes that while the report provides helpful material to inform the national debate around adult social care, whether there is anything unique or distinctive is less clear. (RH). |
