This strategy once again prioritises a number of key influential factors which impact health in a significant way. 5.1 Housing One major impact on the health and well-being of people is where and how they live. Not only is the physical and social environment important, but the home is also the setting within which care is increasingly provided by both family and community based health and social care. Poor housing can affect people’s health. These links between housing and health in supporting the health and well-being of people in their homes are well documented and were highlighted recently in a Welsh Health Circular from the Welsh Assembly Government.

March 10, 2014 INTRODUCTION AND THESIS STATEMENT The effects of public policy on the social determinants of health are profound, numerous and far-reaching. Social determinants of health refer to the living conditions of individuals and communities, and are a major reflection, of the health outcomes of the population as a whole (Bryant, Raphael, and Rioux, 2010). Social determinants of health also indicate the degree to which a person can have access to the physical, social and personal resources required to satisfy needs and cope with the environment. Some of these resources are income, quality and access to education, food, housing, employment and working conditions, access to health care and social services (Raphael, 2007). Public policy on the other hand dictates what these living conditions will be, that is, favourable or unfavourable for the population.
Unit 505 Working in partnership health and social care or children and young people’s settings (M2c) 1. Identify the features of effective partnership working Person-centred care has become the foundation of efforts to reform health care in the UK. This is the core concept that Government Policy is built around and a major aspect enabling individuals to participate in decision making about their care at every level. By focusing on the individuals’ aspirations and goals, placing them at the centre, the care team can ensure that their best interests are maintained and preferences are considered. Health Act 1999 Partnership working is a key element of practice in the health and social care setting.
It will touch on sociological theories and key reports such as The Black Report (1980), The Health Divide (1987), The Acheson Report (1998) and The Marmot Report (2010) these will explain the impact of what does influence health and why. Social Class was defined by the Registrar General in a system which was used from 1911 up until the 1990s which set this out in relation to occupation, housing, income and education in what may be referred to as a ‘Hierarchy’ system, Graham (2000). There was a growing need to replace this system as the original data collected was based largely on the status, wealth and occupation of the man of the household. Today’s structure of society has changed enormously for example, more women now work outside of the home and work full time even though unemployment levels are at their highest because of the economic recession, (Giddens 2009). Today the classification system used to denote socio-economic class reflects a different society and the terms for different classes have been replaced by; The ‘Advantaged’, ‘Marginalised Insecure’ and the ‘Disadvantaged’ (Graham 2000).
This is also said to have a significant impact both on peoples’ health status and mortality rates. Primary health care services will focus on better health for a population, and actively work to reduce health inequalities between different groups. The Treaty of Waitangi is a key document of Maori health which states that the Crown has an obligation to ensure Maori have a health status which is at least equal to that of non-Maori (WAVE, 2001). Unfortunately this is not currently the case. The mortality rate caused by potentially preventable

Task 5: 3.2: Measuring the quality in the health and social care sector presents distinct challenges. For instance, the large influence played by subjective judgements about the quality of personal relationships between carer and user and the process-related service characteristics makes it difficult to develop indicators of service quality, including those of service impact on final outcomes. Using some of the key features of the ‘Production of Welfare’ approach, the paper discusses recent developments in the UK of the theoretical and practical frameworks used for assessing quality in social care and for understanding the final impact of services on the well-being of their recipients. Key current and future challenges to the development of such frameworks include difficulties in disentangling the impact of social care services on final outcomes from the often dominating effects of other, non-service
