Our Health our care our say: a new direction for community services

'Our health, our care, our say: a new direction for community services' The White Paper - January 2006
The Government published its latest health white paper, Our health, our care, our say, earlier this year announcing a fundamental shift in the balance of care provision out of hospitals and into primary care and local community settings. This important briefing note highlights the key points the white paper makes and analyses what they and the new policy direction mean for SLTs. It also flags up areas where SLTs might need to take action locally to make the most of the changes.
