Unit 5 - Meeting Individual Care and Support Needs
Task One: Agencies Used to Meet Individual Needs
D.P6 - Explain why meeting the needs of the individuals requires the involvement of
different agencies
Case Studies
Reference: (Billingham, 2016)
Agencies:
One example of working together is a multidisciplinary team where a multitude of
professionals from several
areas work together to form a
care plan for a patient that
completes their needs
effectively. Another example
of working together is the
relationship between a service
user and the professional. The
professional has to
communicate and cooperate
with a service user to
understand and fulfil their
needs. You can see an
example of working together
in the partnerships between the Government and healthcare providers. The Government is
responsible for implementing changes to legislations in order to fulfil the legal needs of
service users and providers, such as by implementing anti-discrimination laws. Agencies can
work together to meet the needs of individuals as they can specialise in several areas while
caring for the service user. This means that the service user can receive care from
professionals in different areas (e.g. paediatrics, radiolog, general care). By working together
as agencies, health and social care can be more organised.
Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) in England: Healthcare Services
The CCG was formed to commission responsibilities for GP services, meaning that they
decide what GP services are needed and that they provide the services well. The aim of the
CCG is to provide greater responsibility to professionals providing care and to give service
users, communities and clinicians more power in deciding how local services are developed,
giving more influence over the NHS’ budget. The members within the CCG include GP
practices and health professionals. Their roles include those towards commissioning the
following;
- Community NHS services in the local area
- Rehabilitative care

Unit 5 - Meeting Individual Care and Support Needs
- Urgent and emergency care (in and out of working hours)
- Mental health services
- Learning disability services
To promote the needs of service users, the CCG commissions many health and social care
services which ensures the standard of care is being upheld. This means that the standard at
which needs of service users are being met are high. The individual choices of service users
are promoted as well as the individual rights to family life. They also reduce cultural
insensitivity and increase the value of money to allow for the best use of resources.
Local Authorities: Social Care Services
The Local Authorities hold responsibility over a range of public health services that were
provided by the NHS, especially those concerning sexual health services and services
addressing addiction, misuse of alcohol and drug use. The organisation aims to put people at
the centre of their offer through a people-centred approach to care. Local Authorities also
take charge of accountability regarding the environment the people live and thrive in as well
as opportunities for leisure and work. The role of Local authorities includes providing
information and advice regarding the care and support that can be accessed by service users,
providing accessible methods for gaining information and arranging for independent
advocates to assist people in communicating their views, wishes and feelings. The members
of the Local Authorities include housing and NHS partners, adult social care outcomes
framework, making it real statements and public health outcomes framework.
The Local Authorities can promote and meet the needs of individuals through identifying
preventative services needed in an area as this ensures that the people in the area can receive
care of high quality from a service that they can provide. If the demand of one service is
higher than another in an area, resources should be distributed more often to the demanded
service. They also assess the needs of individuals when providing care and support. This
ensures that the individual receives the correct service(s) rather than receiving care for an
issue with little effect on the person’s life.
Health and Wellbeing Boards: Health and Social Care
Health and Wellbeing Boards were introduced with the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
They are a forum for the local health and social care leaders, allowing for the achievement of
their aim: to integrate public health and social care services. Their aims also include assessing
the needs of the local population, reducing inequalities, setting strategies and shared
approaches for local authorities, CCG and NHS England, and encouraging integration and
partnerships. Their role is also to produce joint strategic needs assessments (JSNAs) for the
future of public health and social care needs, and taking into account the broad range of
issues(demographics, needs of vulnerable or disadvantaged groups and factors impacting
health and wellbeing). They meet the needs of the public by addressing those needs and
engaging individuals in developing, providing support for it. The Health and Wellbeing
Boards include:
- Local healthwatch organisation
