Developing Care Markets for Quality & Care

The Department of Health has launched Developing Care Markets for Quality and Choice, a new programme to help provide more choice and higher quality of care and support services across the country.

The programme will help local authorities build their capacity to shape a diverse, vibrant and high quality market for social care services. It will aim to improve choice, provide tailored care and focus care on the outcomes that matter to people.

For further information on the programme, which reinforces the Government’s commitment in the Caring for our Future White Paper to provide support to help local authorities develop their market capacity to provide greater choice for users and drive up quality in care services, visit www.dh.gov.uk/health/2012/09/dcmqc-launch.
