North Yorkshire County Council Adult and Community Services and Children and Young People's Service aim to promote social well-being through support to individuals, families and communities. Individuals will be helped to live independently and safely within local communities through the equal provision of information, advice and care services. Communities and family units will be enabled to support themselves and we will provide protection for the most vulnerable in our society. Already a leading local authority in the field of adult social care, here at North Yorkshire County Council we are taking our commitment even further. We are well placed to deliver the future national agenda set out in 'Our Health, Our Care, Our Say'. The provision of personal and responsive health and social care services that reflect people's needs and wishes and delivery of preventative services focusing on public health and wellbeing are our priority. With an anticipated significant growth in demand for our services, we are also leading the way by implementing a proactive, 15 year commissioning strategy. |
