Better Care Fund Support Programme
Lewisham Council is set to enhance unpaid carer support following a CQC inspection in August 2026.
Lewisham Council is set to enhance its support for unpaid carers, a key focus of the Better Care Fund Support Programme, following a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection. The CQC report, published in August 2026, found the council's adult social care services to be just short of a Good rating and identified improved support for unpaid carers as an area for development. This commitment forms part of a broader strategy to strengthen adult social care services.
The Better Care Fund Support Programme provides tailored assistance for supporting unpaid carers, particularly during hospital discharge and for home-based intermediate care. Lewisham Council's commitment to enhance support for unpaid carers aligns with the programme's objectives to improve adult social care services.
