Newcastle: making strides.
In the past year those involved in implementing community care in Newcastle have been on a massive learning curve, starting to understand purchasing services, moving towards all kinds of domiciliary services. Provision of services by the independent sector is still developing, leaving the social services department to consolidate its own home care services; voluntary agencies are being contracted to supply others. A new assessment system is evolving. Joint planning is moving forward slowly.
