Care England Mental Capacity Act Implementation Survey: Report
Care England collected a total of 84 responses from care home managers to look into how successfully the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) was being implemented on the front line of residential care. Respondents answered questions on the five principles of the MCA, and the questions asked how well they lead and supported their staff teams to understand and enact these principles.
From 1 April 2014, the price payable by the NHS for health care services became subject to the ‘2014/15 National Tariff Payment System’ published by Monitor.
Monitor has agreed to conduct an inquiry into whether Gateshead CCG followed the applicable rules within the National Tariff.
Care England welcomes the decision of Monitor to launch an inquiry into how Gateshead CCG has set the feees for Continuing Healthcare.

Finding Common Purpose, developing strategic commissioning relationships to support people with learning disabilities, is based on a recent workshop held by the two organisations. It is an important insight into issues either side of the commissioning fence; workshop participants included not only social care provider chief executives, but also senior local authority commissioners.
