Director of Think Local Act Personal, Isabelle Trowler, on her hopes for the transformation of social care in 2015. Stressing the need for action rather than words, she highlights three principal areas where change is necessary:

1) A shift in emphasis onto the promotion of individual wellbeing within inclusive communities

2) The nurturing of a strong Integrated Personal Commissioning (IPC) programme that can work effectively for those with the most complex needs

3) An effective partnership between health, care, housing and beyond.

Underpinning all this is a strong desire to see a new funding settlement for social care, to match increased funding for the NHS. In an election year we can expect plenty of positive posturing from our politicians, but which party would come closest to delivering her ideal? That is the question.
