Article summary

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has published findings from its evaluation of the 2023–25 Better Care Fund Support Programme. Commissioned in February 2024 and conducted by Ipsos UK in partnership with the Institute of Public Care at Oxford Brookes University, the report outlines local authorities’ perspectives on the programme’s design and delivery, implementation barriers, examples of good practice, and the outcomes achieved. The report also identifies areas for improvement, including clearer communication of the programme's purpose, streamlined access and delivery processes, tailored support to address individual system needs and maturity levels, strengthened regional expertise among Better Care Managers (BCMs), and the establishment of peer learning platforms for senior leaders and BCMs.
