Surrey County Council (SCC) recognises the need for support to define the medium-term strategy for adult social care and to deliver complex change across interfaces, especially in order to deliver consistent high-quality care whilst interfacing with a complex health provider market. This will enable SCC to meet the twin challenge of delivering immediate impact to support outcomes and improve the financial position, whilst delivering a coherent programme of change to meet a more sustainable medium-term delivery model across the directorate, as well as supporting discharge and flow transformation across Surrey’s hospital system including embedding an enhanced strengths based Discharge to Assess model.
SCC has ambitions to improve relationships with health partners, providers, the voluntary community and faith sector, as well as internally to deliver better outcomes for its residents and a sustainable financial position. By 2030 Surrey wants to be a uniquely special place where everyone has a great start to life, people live healthy and fulfilling lives, are enabled to achieve their full potential and contribute to their community, and no one is left behind. Ambitions for people include:
· Children and young people are safe and feel safe and confident.
· Everyone benefits from education, skills and employment opportunities that help them succeed in life.
· Everyone lives healthy, active and fulfilling lives, and makes good choices about their wellbeing.
· Everyone gets the health and social care support and information they need at the right time and place.
Communities are welcoming and supportive, especially of those most in need, and people feel able to contribute to community life.
