It sets some criteria on hospital availability of medicines that need to be matched with the necessity of the patients (Bouch, 2013). Those patients will be supplied with medicines from the hospitals and other patients need to buy those medicines from outside. This will help the NHS to maintain their budget.

This was followed up by changes in the department of health where people were to be given more choice over what services they needed. The National service framework further increased the need for individualised services that related to a person’s needs rather than fitting into existing services. The care standards act 2000 developed the need to develop individualised service provision for people and for services to adapt to these needs. Person centred care was then incorporated into many policies to promote independence and the rights and choices of
It is important to remember that the idea of personalisation is not revolutionary, it has always been in the minds of idealists as an aspiration. I would like to propose the idea of dynamicity of the views and attitudes towards the social care, greatly dependable on the economic status (funding), culture, and awareness leading to a greater understanding of the issues many people are struggling with throughout their lives, i.e. Disability, mental health problems, abuse, and homelessness. The historical care approach applied in mental health used to be paternalistically authoritarian, and heavily based on a medical approach regarding illness and treatments.

Health and social care professionals encounter a diverse amount of individuals who have different needs and preferences regarding their health. As professionals they must ensure that all services users, whether it is older people with dementia, an infant with physical disabilities or an adult with an eating disorder (National Minimum Data Set for Social Care, [no date]), are treated in a way that will successfully meet such needs. In fact, health and social care professionals have a ‘duty of care’ towards services users, as well as other workers, in which they must legally promote the wellbeing of individuals and protect them against harm, abuse and injury. (The Care Certificate Workbook Standard 3, [no date]) Duty of care is a legal requirement

(Alcock et al 2004) The study of social policy was originally known as social administration. (Spicker, 2008) describes social policy as relating to social services which include health, education, housing and social work. Spiker also describes these as being the “The Big Five”. Subjects like Social care offers contextual material about the many aspects required to develop social policies. Social Care touches on subjects such as sociology which gives a better understanding of minority groups and social control. The study of Social Policy and social care are both focused on welfare and people’s needs or problems such as disabilities, mental illness or poverty.
