Different Sectors Working Together
Look at these images. How might different sectors work together in these situations?
Social Services may contract
residential care or nursing home
care from private organisations.
Informal carers work with the NHS
to provide support for individuals
in hospital, for example by bringing
clean clothes and food.
When different sectors work together it is called a mixed economy of care.
