Abstract: |
Local authorities, providers and actual and potential users of social care services, however funded, need to understand much better how markets operate. For local authorities in particular, if they are to move from being direct purchasers to facilitators of care provision then they need better market intelligence. Authorities have a greater responsibility towards the whole of their local population, not just those people accessing support via the council, encompassing therefore people purchasing their own care. This means wider responsibility to ensure that sufficient provision is in place across the whole market. Care markets are becoming more diverse, needing to meet the needs of more self-funders and more people with personal budgets. As individuals have greater control, so the local authority position verses the market changes – from one of market control to one of market facilitation. This briefing paper looks as a starting point at how market intelligence can be defined and information brought together into a single Market Position Statement. |
