A series of face to face and online sessions will take place later this month, to gather views and share information on the future shape of services for those with learning disabilities and autism, as well as the delivery of Self Directed Support in the isles.
Health and Social Care teams are inviting service users along to hear their thoughts on how these important services can be delivered sustainably and equitably into the future. Information has been mailed to current service users, but anyone who believes they may need access to support in the future is asked to get in touch by calling 01595 744400 or 744308.
Jo Robinson is Director of Community Health and Social Care, and Chief Officer for the Integration Joint Board: “There’s a lot of work underway at the moment looking at how some of our services, particularly those which are under staffing and budgetary pressure, can be developed sustainably to continue to provide the best support for our community.
“This is the beginning of a conversation with those people who use Self Directed Support, and services for those with Learning Disabilities and Autism. We’ve sent information to current users, and hope that anyone who thinks they may need those services in the future will also get in touch to find out more.
“At both the face-to-face and online sessions, our staff will be there to provide information and reassurance, and gather the views of those people who know the services best on how they can be delivered sustainably in the future.
“I’d encourage anyone who may feel this could be relevant for them, now or in the future, to get in touch with our teams.”
