Health and Social Care Integration (HSCI)
A large number of workers in Adult Care eg Social Workers,
Care Managers etc will be affected by HSCI although it is not clear what this
will mean in detail and how it will affect us on a daily basis.
The branch has
representation on a Tayside HR/ trade union meeting and we will sit on the
Integration Joint Board as a mandatory non-voting member.
We have also just started
discussions with Vicky Irons, Chief Officer, and George Bowie, Interim Head of
Adult Services, about the consultation mechanisms within the new integrated
structure in Angus.
We have no Stewards in the whole of Adult Care, apart from
myself, so we need more volunteers, please.
This is an exciting time to get
involved, hear first hand what is being said and have a role in the development
of the new service so if you are interested, please contact me for a chat and
more information at office@unison-angus.org.uk
or 01307 468950
