All Policy and Influence

Manchester City Council want to change their resource allocation system. This is what Manchester City Council call the way they:
• assess you for social care and support
• work out personal budgets

Manchester City Council want your views on how they do things now and the proposed changes they would like to make.

The changes are in line with the law: The Care Act 2014.

This consultation is being led by Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust (MMHSCT) and is supported by the North, Central and South Clinical Commissioning Groups.

Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust (the Trust) provides specialist, community mental health, prison and public health wellbeing services as well as support services for people living within the City of Manchester. The Trust receives most of its money (about 67% of its total income) to provide these services from the North, Central and South Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups (Manchester CCGs).

cities@manchester have produced a series of short animations exploring devolution and its implications and opportunities for Greater Manchester - around such areas as health, governance, and the creative economy.

The animations were scripted by various academic disciplines across the University of Manchester.

The animations were produced by Toasted Productions.

Following consultation with disability organisations, Ekklesia is conducting a survey of people with mental or physical health conditions in order to design a replacement for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and the Work Capability Assessment (WCA). Ekklesia consider the WCA to be too flawed and broken to be satisfactorily fixed. It needs replacing, and the people best able to do this are those who are affected by long term illness.
