  • The Social Services Bill for Wales & Promoting Well-Being
    The Social Services Bill for Wales & promoting well-being 150,000 young, old and disabled people receive help each year from Wales’ Social Services. Many of these services are delivered in partnership between organisations from the housing, health and education sectors. The Welsh Government is intending to develop legislation that maintains and enhances the wellbeing of people in need. A duty to that effect will form part of the Bill. Our key concern has been the need to make Social Services in Wales sustainable. Our strategy for this was set out in Sustainable Social Services for Wales: A Framework for Action. The central purpose for this Bill is to provide the legislative framework to enable us to deliver that strategy. Providing appropriate services often requires intervention at an earlier stage and reflects a key principle of the Welsh Government’s approach to sustainable development. Part of the Social Services (Wales) Bill will encourage the promotion of preventative strategies and access to support that will result in better outcomes for people; which we hope will save on more costly interventions at a later stage. The legislation aims to give individuals a stronger voice and real control of the services they use, enabling them to understand how care and support can help them. It will also place a duty on social services and the NHS to collaborate in how they deliver integrated services. WG15470 own Copyright 2012 © Cr The Sustainable Development framework is thinking long-term The Welsh Local Government Association, through their Sustainable Development Framework have been encouraging local authorities and Local Service Boards to develop techniques and approaches to long term thinking for their strategies and partnerships.
