The Department and NHS England would expect all of them to be regularly talking to and working with social care providers, given their remit to join up health and social care services.

	uin	248692
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>Personal budgets (particularly direct payments) are designed to be used flexibly and innovatively and so there should be no unreasonable restriction placed on the use of the payment, as long as it is being used to meet eligible care and support needs in line with the care and support plan agreed between those requiring care and their local team which includes healthcare professionals. The local authority then has a duty to ensure that their care meets the needs of the eligible person, and to continue to oversee that care to ensure it addresses the identified needs.</p><p>The Department does not make specific recommendations on what should be included in care and support plans, nor do we require local authorities to identify the role of companion animals. Instead, there are exclusions listed within the regulations. Taking this into account, it is the responsibility of clinicians and local teams, in co-operation with patients, their families and carers, to determine what will be included in the care and support plan.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 248694 248695 question first answered 08/05/2019 11:15:09 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

	uin	148824
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2018 answer text <p>The Care Act 2014 is clear that commissioning services without properly considering the impact on people’s wellbeing is unacceptable. However, it would be inappropriate to introduce a blanket ban on 15 minute homecare visits. They may be appropriate in certain circumstances, for instance, checking a person’s medication has been taken.</p><p> </p><p>Ultimately, local authorities are responsible for the commissioning of services. We are supporting local authorities to improve commissioning of care.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has also worked with local government and the care sector to develop and encourage good practice in commissioning and managing local adult social care markets. A suite of guidance is now available at the on-line Hub on GOV.UK.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is working with organisations from across the adult social care sector to implement Quality Matters – a shared commitment to take action to achieve high quality social care. Under this initiative, the Local Government Association has published the Integrated Commissioning for Better Outcomes framework to support sector-led improvement in adult social care commissioning.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 07/06/2018 13:13:16 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
