Market position statement

Adult social care commissioning intentions contained within these market position statements (MPS) are based on a new (draft) Adult Social Care Commissioning Strategy 2025-2028. The MPSs contain visions and intentions for key commissioned services to 2040. This Residential and Nursing MPS is the first of three MPSs to be published in a sequence and will shortly be accompanied by an introduction statement.
