The London Borough of Redbridge (LBR) Community Care Purchasing Team, under the direction of Roy Dickinson, are particularly focussed in ensuring that people within the council have clear roles and carry out first rate contract management. The unit came into being following the NHS Community Care Act 1993. This directive gives powers to the individual to decide the care home that best suits their needs. At LBR the structure is clear: social workers and care managers deal only with activities relating to the social care of the individual, and the purchasing team deals with all placements/determinations and contract matters. This structure has given LBR benefits in terms of ensuring that both groups use professional skills in the correct areas.
