- Abstract
Social care services delivered by Local Government are currently facing a number of difficulties related to performance, efficacy and coverage of an increasing demand from the public. Strategic planning and management may lead to improvement in this field, being necessary the design of performance information systems useful for decision making. The aim of this paper is to describe the main characteristics and effects of two initiatives regarding strategic planning, which have been undertaken by the United Kingdom during the last years. Firstly, it focuses on the Local Area Agreements as vehicles for aligning priorities and aspirations, both at national and local level, being the former expressed through national indicators. Secondly, it illustrates the commissioning cycle, understood as the comprehensive process comprising strategic planning, shaping, modeling and managing social care services, from a market perspective.
