star this property answer text <p>As set out by the National Health Service in their Five Year Forward View, out-of-hospital care needs to become a bigger part of NHS provision, and we recognise that community health services are a key part of achieving this.</p><p> </p><p>When patients have been admitted to hospital and are ready to be discharged, the focus should be on discharging them to their usual place of residence wherever possible. As part of their Better Care Fund plans, all areas are expected to implement the High Impact Change model to support system-wide improvement in discharging patients. This model includes a ‘home first’ approach which supports timely discharge and the delivery of health and care closer to home.</p><p> </p><p>We are also increasing capacity in the community so that more people can receive care in their own homes. To date, the NHS has boosted clinical capacity and capability of NHS 111, which now takes 16 million calls each year, with more than 50% of callers receiving clinical input in April this year. The NHS has also expanded ‘Hear and Treat’ and ‘See and Treat’ ambulance services so that they now cover 3.5 million people, with the provision of telephone advice and treatment of people in their homes saving needless trips to hospital.</p><p> </p><p>We want people to be able to live in their own home for as long as possible. The Department funds the Disabled Facilities Grant to support older and disabled people on low-incomes to adapt their homes to make them suitable for their needs. The Department also provides funding to build specialised housing options - through the Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund – to provide more suitable home environments for older people and those with learning and physical disabilities, and mental ill health.</p><p> </p><p>Housing will be a crucial part of considerations for reform of care and support which we expect to be set out in the Green Paper in autumn 2018. We intend to set out proposals for existing, new, and specialised housing, to ensure people can live in a ‘safe and suitable’ home, for as long as possible.</p>

star this property answer text <p>In most cases, very short visits from care workers are incompatible with high quality care. However, short visits may be appropriate in certain circumstances. For instance, checking medication has been taken.</p><br /><p>Local authorities are responsible for the commissioning of services, not the Government but both Government and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) agree that inappropriately short home care visits are unacceptable.The Care Act sends a clear message that commissioning services without properly considering the impact on people’s wellbeing is unacceptable.</p><br /><p>In September 2015, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidelines on homecare which state that homecare visits should not normally be less than 30 minutes long. The Department published statutory guidance to the Care Act which directs local authorities when commissioning to consider national standards including NICE guidelines.</p><br /><p>Further, the Department worked with ADASS and the Local Government Association (LGA) to produce a framework of standards, ‘Commissioning for Better Outcomes’ which explicitly states that inappropriate use of short visits is not compatible with best practice. The framework is designed to support local authorities to improve their commissioning practices using self-assessment and peer challenge through the LGA’s programme of sector-led improvement.</p><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
