2.2 Background
The SSWB Act provides a new legislative framework for care and support in Wales, aimed at improving the wellbeing of people who need care and support, and carers who need support, and for transforming the way in which services are commissioned and delivered. A number of core principles underpin the Act:
• Voiceandcontrolputtingtheindividualandtheirneeds,atthecentreoftheircare, and giving them a voice in, and control over reaching the outcomes that help them achieve wellbeing
• Prevention and early intervention increasing preventative services within the community to minimise the escalation of critical need
• Wellbeing supporting people to achieve their own wellbeing and measuring the success of care and support
• Co-productiondevelopingwaysofworkingwherebypractitionersandpeoplework together as equal partners to plan and deliver care and support
• Cooperation, partnership and integration improving the efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery, providing coordinated, person centred care and support and enhancing outcomes and wellbeing
Part 9 of the Act requires local authorities (LAs) and Local Health Boards (LHBs) to establish Regional Partnership Boards (RPBs) to manage and develop services to secure strategic planning and partnership working and to ensure effective services, care and support are in place to best meet the needs of their respective population.
