As many of you must now be aware, Jon Rouse has left the Department of Health to take up his new role as Chief Officer of the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership. This blog is therefore no longer an active site.
However, if you wish to continue to receive news and views relating to social care, communities, or health and care topics in general, why not subscribe to the Social Care Newsletter which features guest blogs and updates from the great and the good of the care and support sector?
For news spanning the full range of Department of Health policies, initiatives and partnerships, sign up here for monthly round ups.
Finally, for those of you with an interest in adult social work, we highly recommend this blog from our Chief Social Worker for Adults, Lyn Romeo. Subscribe to learn more about Lyn's vision for modern social work and read guest articles from social workers, educators and service providers as together they work to support individuals and families in need.
We look forward to continuing to share the work of the department - and that of our sector partners - with you all.
Thank you.
