We have published 6 new reports under our responsibilities to assess how local authorities are meeting their responsibilities to make sure people have access to adult social care and support.
The six new reports follow assessments of:
- Bracknell Forest Council, rated good
- London Borough of Brent, rated requires improvement
- County Durham, rated good
- Derby City Council, rated requires improvement
- Derbyshire County Council, rated good
- Hertfordshire County Council, rated good
The reports look at 9 areas spread across 4 themes to check how well the local authority is meeting their responsibilities. Each area is given a score from 1 to 4. A score of 1 is given when evidence shows significant shortfalls for this area, and 4 when evidence shows an exceptional standard is being met.

'Feedback' written upon a notepad, with four feedback sentiment boxes.
Earlier this year we commissioned Ipsos to undertake research with more than 2400 adult social care providers. The project was to understand what support providers are receiving to ensure medicines are managed safely, how the support impacts the quality of care that providers are able to deliver, and future support needs.
The research shows that adult social care services have access to a wide range of different types of medicines support from a variety of sources, including community pharmacy and a range of healthcare professionals. Just under half of those accessing support from community pharmacies say it fully meets their needs, with making contact with pharmacies a key issue where support didn’t meet their needs.
You can read more details about the research on our website.
