In many cases of complicated health conditions or physical disabilities, specialist acute provision will be required, although again where possible short-term care and support should be provided to help people optimise their self care. For others, residential support in independent/ supported living environments (including extra care) might be appropriate. In all such cases health, social care and other professionals should work together and with individuals to ensure service users have a genuine voice in relation to both their desired outcomes and their choice of service provision.
9.4. Current Care and Support Provision
There are a range of services and support available to the adult population to help them lead healthy and fulfilled lives; although a significant degree of responsibility for this falls on the individual and responsibility for services and support extends well beyond health and social care.
The following table gives an indication of the numbers of people aged 18-64 in receipt of care and support services.
