6. Strategic Commissioning Plan 2016-2019
Our vision
We will work together to support people living in Perth and Kinross to lead healthy and active lives and live as independently as possible with choice and control over the decisions they make about their care and support. Our aim is to improve the wellbeing and outcomes of people living in Perth and Kinross, to intervene early and work with the third and independent sectors and communities, to prevent longer term issues arising

9. Challenges for community enterprises
Regulation and legislation
Tendering and procurement –defines the service model and discourages imaginative approach
Do you think it’s OK for Health and Social Care Partnerships to buy–in or use ‘unregulated’ community enterprises for home care?
HMRC – self employed or employed – Tax bill?
SSSC – being able to register
Inappropriate rules (running a regulated service is expensive with high barriers to entry)
Recruiting staff for rural areas
Choice and control is complex
Diminishing resources and increased need

10. Clear sense of purpose Think differently Aim high Play our part Connected communities

11. Tester/pilot- using our imagination

Kinloch Rannoch – communities organising and delivering their own care and support
Tester/pilot- using our imagination

12. New Manifesto for Social Care Dec 2016
Challenge the dominance of traditional institutionalising corporate providers in residential and domiciliary services and instead prioritise the user-led, community- based small scale support schemes particularly valued by service users and carers.
