The Service plays a crucial role in sourcing support and services to meet previously assessed adult social care needs whilst achieving best value for the taxpayer.

The Service covers all types of social care such as residential and nursing care, home care and day care, this includes all adult social care citizens. The service utilizes digital systems where possible to source care and support but there is also a need to contact providers directly to negotiate on price and quality.
