answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2016 answer text <p>The Self Care Forum was established in 2011 to further the reach of self-care and embed it into everyday life. Local organisations involved in self care pilots and evidence based initiatives are free to send their findings to the Self Care Forum as recommended in the All Party Parliamentary Group’s Report, should they wish to do so.</p><p> </p><p>The Five Year Forward View set out how the health service needs to change, with an improved relationship between patients and communities. It made a specific commitment to do more to support people with long-term conditions to help them manage their own health.</p><p>To support this commitment, NHS England established the Realising the Value Programme to help to build an evidence base about what works best for different patients, how much extra resource may be needed to support the growth of services locally and which approaches, if any, are demonstrably cost effective. Additionally, NHS England announced that a consortium led by Nesta and the Health Foundation in partnership with Voluntary Voices (National Voices, Regional Voices, National Association for Voluntary and Community Action and Community Service Volunteers), the Behavioural Insights Team and Newcastle University, had been selected to take forward this work.</p><p> </p><p>Nesta is also seeking to learn from and build on existing toolkits and learning resources and has worked to collate examples.

uin	39885
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2016 answer text <p>In 2014, NHS England published the <em>Five Year Forward View</em>, which included an account of five new care models designed to promote integrated service provision. 50 Vanguard sites are currently implementing a new care model, with the support of NHS England and the Department, and with a view to spreading lessons and best practice throughout the health system.</p><p>In order to deliver the best outcomes for service users, integration within the National Health Service must be accompanied by integration with social care. The Better Care Fund (BCF), first implemented in 2015/16, is continuing in 2016/17 and requires local government and the NHS to create pooled budgets in every area in England, bringing local leaders and clinical experts together to plan how to spend a portion of their shared resources to provide a more integrated health and care system for local people.</p><p>The BCF has laid the foundation for integration across the country, but the Government wants to go further, faster. The Autumn 2016 Spending Review set out the ambition that every area in England should integrate health and social care by 2020, with a plan for this in place by 2017. Achieving better integration within the NHS will be a key element of the broader ambition to integrate across the health and care system as a whole.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 14/06/2016 11:54:03 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
