In Control has been invited to attend a number of fringe events
at this year's Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham.
Julie Stansfield, our chief executive will be attending the
Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) roundtable on
'Collaborating on care - shaping the future relationship between
practice and social care'.
Alongside questions around the future of funding for care, the
debate will also focus on how to address the divide between the
provision of health and social care and deliver more integrated
services to patients whose needs cut across professional and
organisational boundaries.
Attendees include:
- Dr Paul Charlson - Chair, Conservative Health
- Lord Adebowale - CEO, Turning Point
- Sarah Pickup - President, Association of Directors of Adult
Social Services (ADASS)
- Andrea Sutcliffe - Chief Executive, Social Care Institute for
Excellence (SCIE)
- Jeremy Taylor - Chief Executive, National Voices
- Rob Holland - Senior Parliamentary Officer, Mencap
- Julie Stansfield - Chief Executive, In Control
- Dr Helena Johnson - Chair, Chartered Society of
Physiotherapy
- Ann Green - Chair, Allied Health Professions Federation
- Gail Beer - Consultant Director, 2020 Health
- Dr John Middleton - Vice-President, Faculty of Public
Health
- Chai Patel - Chair, HC-One
- Prof Sue Bailey - President, Royal College of
Psychiatrists
- Cllr Andrew Gravells, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing,
Gloucestershire County Council, member of LGA Community Wellbeing
Board
- Jeremy Hughes Chief Executive, Alzheimer's Society
- Anna Dixon, Policy Director, King's Fund
- Professor Nigel Mathers - Vice Chair, RCGP
- Neil Hunt - Chief Executive, RCGP
- Mark Thomas - Head of Policy and Public Affairs, RCGP
- Vanita Patel - Policy Officer, RCGP
In addition to this event, In Control will also be attending a
Demos dinner on prepaid cards in public services and welfare.
Prepaid cards, which are very similar to debit cards are already
used by around 40% of local councils, mainly for personal budgets
in social care. This payment method not only helps to further
financial inclusion for the consumer but also provides more
streamlined administration by removing paper-based processes and
improved monitoring of spend. As personal budgets are being rolled
out in a wider range of service areas, including health and
children's services, prepaid cards could be used more widely, and
crucially could help integrate health and care budgets.
Speakers at the dinner include:
- Julie Stansfield, Chief Executive In Control
- Lord Freud, Minister for Welfare Reform
- Teresa Perchard, Director of Policy and Advocacy, Citizens
Advice Bureau
- Richard Hawes, Chief Executive, Scope
- Brian Pomeroy, Former Chair, Financial Inclusion Taskforce
- Jonty Oliff-Cooper, Director of Policy and Strategy, A4E
- James Harborne, Head of Public Affairs, MasterCard
- Matt Mayo, Head of Business Development, MasterCard
- Claudia Wood, Deputy Director, Demos
