Dynamic Social Services

Another big issue for my Campaign this Year is going to be the issue around Social Services, how far, from where and how much does a Local Government get involved. This is a Central Service, but at some times, different places and circumstances it may make better sense if some of the Delivery or Operation of these Services are better used as a Dynamic Balance Between the Social Welfare System and the Local Government rather than the Central Government. This may be where the Local Council may be in a better place to know of the situation and circumstances surrounding the parties involved rather than an Office in Wellington away from the area.

A Balance could be found, and I would be in favor for the Council to look into finding what the balance may look like. At a minimum I would also be keen to see the Local Council and The Welfare System working much closer together anyway. This can be a new way and area for the Council to look at ways to update and make systems more efficient, and looking for different partners to deliver services.

Better co ordination and networking between Central, Local and Welfare Services - can help deliver better outcomes.
