Challenge

Both care providers and commissioners strive to create and deliver world class social care to residents but both are facing significant challenges and pressures. Creating a fair and sustainable that properly supports care providers, whilst delivering value for money from the public purse is the aim, and CareCubed plays a critical role in achieving this.

Ensuring a fair price for care is critical, as the costs to deliver care increase and government funding remains under severe pressure. In the absence of significant in health and social care from central government, there is a need to ensure every single pound is spent in the most effective way. Big variations exist in services delivered, approaches to pricing and fees charged.

At the same time, care packages must be sized appropriately and deliver the desired positive outcomes for residents.

As well as the financial pressures facing the sector, there are issues around recruitment and retention of care workers, lack of provision with demand outstripping supply in many areas and tension in the relationships between commissioner and provider.

“To not be using CareCubed, means you are missing a crucial tool in your armoury for both tactical, day-to-day commissioning, and for those wider strategic projects. It is robust, nationally recognised, impartial and pays for itself from just one or two uses. These challenges aren’t going away, and more are coming as a result of the reform agenda, and we would be at a loss without CareCubed”

Hugh Evans,
Executive Director of People,
Bristol City Council.
