The decision outlines how Adult Social Care
Management cover 7 days, including Bank Holidays and ensure social
workers have access to Management Support across 7 days.
Government thinking is pushing the NHS and Local Authorities to
wards 7 day working as clearly patients should not be disadvantaged
due to the day of the week that they are admitted to hospital and
need to be discharged as soon as possible in order to reach their
maximum potential. In addition, Better Care Fund is dependant on
progress toward Integrated 7 day working.
From 2 June 2018, all new Social Worker appointments will be on a 7
day working basis to ensure Doncaster have appropriate resources in
place. Staff regardless of their base during the week will work on
a rota basis covering IDT and other Dishcarge Pathway.
