A problem shared: Making best use of resources in Adult Social Care
This report is one of a series designed to support sector-led improvement. It aims to:
• review the evidence about how budget reductions have been achieved so far, and draw out lessons that can be learned
• pull together messages from research and guidance produced since 2009
• reinforce the importance of benchmarking, sharing good practice and developing a stronger, more accessible evidence base
• suggest some next steps, including further tools and guidance that could help the sector manage future budget pressures.
It is accompanied by:
• a data report that analyses national expenditure and activity trends over the last five years
• a self-assessment toolkit for managers, based on the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services’ (ADASS’) whole system approach to making best use of resources.
Whilst suggesting approaches that will be useful from 2013 onwards, the report emphasises that priorities for action will vary from one place to the next. To reinforce this, it includes illustrations of how councils’ performance varies not just between but within regions. Local decision-making matters more than is often acknowledged.
