Staffordshire Cares Plans

Amongst some of the Staffordshire Cares plans revealed and welcomed during the debate were:

• Staffordshire Cares Direct - A single countywide phone number providing a wide range of advice, information, signposting, simple assessments and 24/7 emergency contact all in one place
• Local information points across the county- offering advice and signposting to other forms of support
• One stop shops - access to a full range of face to face services and offering assessments
• Preventative Services - integration of front line services with the NHS and working closely with the fire service, police and others to help avoid people needing acute care in hospital or long term institutionalised care
• Marketplace - an easy to understand website directory of Staffordshire service providers, costs and quality reports to help people choose the support they want

Members who spoke at the debate pledged their own support and agreed that politics should take a back seat to help deliver this new vision for the benefit of Staffordshire's residents.
