The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) welcomes the green paper’s emphasis on independence and choice, and also wishes to encourage careful thinking about the issues of interdependence and control. SCIE supports the proposal to have an inclusive debate about risk. Structural change may be necessary, but is certainly not sufficient. The green paper recognises this, particularly through the emphasis on cultural change. Drawing on what is known about the implementation of changes designed to promote user- and carer-centred working, SCIE argues for an incremental approach and for forthcoming legislation to be framed in a way that allows for learning and experimentation by all concerned, including the users of services and their carers and supporters. The green paper’s seven outcomes for social care cannot be delivered by social care alone. Effective, outcome-focused partnership working across the human services and spanning from central government to the frontline must therefore be resourced and developed.

This document summarises the key proposals for change in the context facing health and social care (HSC) in Northern Ireland and forms the basis for a public consultation on the future of care provision. The report provides details on why there is a compelling need for change and outlines proposals in response to the ‘Review of Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland, Transforming Your Care’ (2011). The discussion of proposals, what they mean and what significant local implications they may have is structured around a set of thematic areas, including population health and wellbeing, delivering services at home and in the community (integrated care partnerships), older people, long term conditions, palliative and end of life care, mental health, learning disability, physical disability and sensory impairment, family and child care, maternity and child health, acute care in hospitals, and the links with the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain. The document also discusses what changes are needed to support the implementation of these proposals, the possible implications for the workforce and organisation, for the finance, for technology advances.
