Bed-based intermediate care
Ealing Council recently approved its £60 million Better Care Fund plan for 2026/27, which includes funding for bed-based intermediate care.
Ealing Council approved its £60 million Better Care Fund (BCF) plan for the 2026/27 financial year in September 2026. This plan, which includes funding for bed-based intermediate care, was submitted to and approved by the national team. The BCF aims to deliver integrated health and social care services, focusing on preventative services and a neighbourhood health model.
The pooled budget of approximately £60 million is allocated for residential care, prevention, intermediate care, and the Disabled Facilities Grant. Bed-based intermediate care provides short-term care in a residential setting to help people recover from illness or injury and avoid hospital admission.
