Health and Social Care Change Agent Team

The Health & Social Care Change Agent Team (CAT) was established in January 2002 to tackle delayed transfers of care (or delayed hospital discharges) and associated arrangements.

Our purpose is to work across health, social care, housing and the independent sector to:

  • Offer targeted help to health and social care communities in reducing delayed transfers of care
  • Support implementation of the key aspects of the National Service Framework for Older People that impact on delayed transfers of care
  • Assist with development of a more integrated approach to commissioning and provision of services, particularly in relation to intermediate care and housing. This includes exploring opportunities for developing care trusts and the use of Health Act Flexibilities.
