Transformation and CPA Event

31st March 2010, Central London

In January 2010, a number of pan-London care programme approach leads met to develop a working relationship in response to the Department of Health’s plans for local authority self-directed support. It was felt that self-directed support developments were likely to have serious implications for care programme approach procedures, including significant increases in administrative requirements for service users and trust staff.

An event was planned and delivered on the 31st March 2010 that aimed to bring key people together to discuss the integration of the care programme approach and transformation.
