individual
Success of the health and social care system is necessary and is based on the principles.
Principles can be defined as the rule or the manner that guide proper regulation on the basis of
vital laws that will support the proper working. In the case of Angela and her family, principles
of the support can be applied in such way which will help with the better health care and well
being. In this situation, the difference related to the culture and belief can be there between the
Angela and her parents, as there are many difference in the ideas of people who come at the
health and social care and it is the responsibility of the health care practitioners that these ideas
should be respected (Bairdand and et.al., 2014)
Government of the country is continuously working to support the welfare of the country
and its people. Support and the service people are given facilities which include help things in
regards with home care like shopping and cleaning, day centres that will give least care at best,
adaptions and tools for house, day care centres for children when no one there to look for them.
