| Annotation | Personalisation means that support and care are built around the individual, taking account of personal needs. Comprising experts from a variety of organisations and interests, the Commission has produced a set of national recommendations and the formation of a complementary model for putting people first in Hampshire (Appendix E). This wide-ranging report includes comments on issues from self funders, support for carers, funding personalised care and social care, to the care market and regulation. The Commission proposes a new system for adult social care which must be underpinned by these principles: person-centred; fair and inclusive; clear, easy to understand and accessible; an expressed joint responsibility; and affordable and sustainable. The Commission makes recommendations on: a Universal Offer; free urgent care; a savings disregard; the legal framework; retention of Fair Access to Care (FACS); a resource allocation system; 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.
