Best of Both Worlds – Community Care feature LATC

July 29, 2010

The 29th July 2010 edition of Community Care carries a feature on the Essex Council combining of public and private sector expertise to deliver a local authority trading company (LATC).   One of the Care and Health Directors Mark Lloyd at present acts as Interim Managing Director and he comments within the article on the innovation and success of the model in reducing costs, creating more flexible services, and creating “the third way” in service delivery.  This model also fits well with NHS Provider arms looking for closer partnerships with Adult Social Care business units and offers a solution for future service delivery along side co-operative and social enterprise models.  CHS specialise in advising NHS and Councils on models of delivery within the changing environment of health and social care.
