A '''care trust''' is a type of [[NHS trust]] in the [[National Health Service (England)|English National Health Service]] and [[NHS Wales]] that provides both [[health]] and [[social care]]. They may carry out a range of services, including social care, [[mental health]] services or [[primary care]] services. Care Trusts are set up when the NHS and [[local authority|local authorities]] agree to work closely together, usually where it is felt that a closer relationship between health and social care is needed or would benefit local care services. |
|||
Care trusts were established under the [[NHS Plan 2000]], in [[England]] to bring together in one legal entity the commissioning and provision of health and social care services, especially for older people.<ref>{{cite news|title=A question of trust|url=http://www.hsj.co.uk/news/a-question-of-trust/28159.article#.UqTZ7-ImRPY|accessdate=8 December 2013|newspaper=Health Service Journal|date=19 October 2000}}</ref> [[Torbay and Southern Devon Health and Care NHS Trust]] was regarded as the most successful. Others are [[Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust]], [[Bradford District Care Trust]], [[Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust]] and [[Sheffield Health & Social Care NHS Foundation Trust]] |
|||
Care trusts do not exist in [[Scotland]], nor are there plans to introduce them. |
|||
In Northern Ireland, health and social care is organised through five sub-regional health and social care trusts. |
