Health and Social Care Committee

Consultation on terms of reference for inquiry into residential care for older people

RC21 ToR – Healthcare Inspectorate Wales

On behalf of Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, I can confirm that we have no specific comments to make but we hope that the terms of reference will allow for examination of  residential care issues that contribute to delayed transfers of care from hospital, such as : 

• partnership working between health and social care to identify and address issues that cause these
• whether local provision of residential care meets the needs of the local population and
• financing of placements, including the continuing NHS healthcare funding process .
