Asking people what matters to them may seem a simple question, but it’s one that drives every conversation we have with those who rely upon us to care for them. Our continued transformation of adult social care, including making better use of technology and digital innovation, is helping people to take control of their lives, and improving their outcomes and experiences.

Our local account summary gives our people an opportunity to reflect upon their successes of the past 12 months, which were delivered against a backdrop of increased demand and recovery from the pandemic. Our teams should feel incredibly proud of all they have achieved during the past 12 months.

We can only achieve our vision of better care for all by working closely with our partners to deliver high quality services, and we have reaffirmed our commitment to integrated care by signing a new tri-partite Section 75 agreement to deliver integrated adult social care services in Torbay for the next five years. We are committed to work together to deliver sustainable services which will make our brighter future a reality for everyone in Torbay. Thank you to our people for all you do.
