Adult social care commissioning

Adult social care commissioning is the process we use to understand the care and support needs of our residents. We then plan, arrange, and review services to meet those needs. 

We work with providers and partners to make sure there is a range of quality, affordable services available. This helps you to stay independent, and get the right support at the right time.
