WAG announces £9m for Gwent care-at-home programme
WAG announces £9 million announced to provide care, support and dignity
Assembly Finance Minister, Jane Hutt, has announced £9 million funding over the next three years to provide vulnerable people with care at home under the Gwent Frailty Programme. It will help elderly and vulnerable people remain independent and living in their own homes, rather than being admitted to hospital.
The programme aims to:
- bring together professionals to make sure there is access to the right person at the time needed;
- co-ordinate communication so people have one key person to guide them through the system and be the main point of contact;
- deliver the right level of response according to how much support is needed at any particular time;
- help people remain independent;
- deliver care in or close to home and avoid unnecessary hospital admissions; and,
- deliver efficiency savings of approximately £1 million per annum.
