INTRODUCTION
Health and social care services are referred as the services which are related to the health
of the person or the social care which will include the health care infrastructure, public sector as
well as the private sector (Makai and et.al., 2014). These services are provided by the health and
social care organizations. These services are provided to disabled people who are not able to do
any work. There are various external organizational factors which can affect the health and social
care services. The role of leadership also plays an important role. All the theoretical concepts are
used to show the functions of the organization and the impact of social and economical factor
can influence the organization.
TASK 1
1.1 Impact of external environmental factors on H&SC organizations
To understand the role of external factors affecting the health and social care
organization, the PESTLE analysis should be done so that it will cover all the external factors
like political, economical, social, technological, legal and environmental (Cacioppo, J.T. and
Cacioppo, S. 2014). This analysis is being used from past 20 years, and is very helpful in
identifying the factors which can affect the organization.
1. Political factor: All the political forces can affect the performance of the
organization. There are the ruling government which will be having its laws and
regulations, and also there are some tax policies which can also influence the
organization. The another thing is, if one government is ruling the nation and in
between after election, another party of government starts ruling, so they might be
having their rules and regulation, so the organization have to adjust according to
that.
2. Economic factors: The present economy and the growth rate of the economy and
inflation can also affect the policies of the organization. UK economy was not
balanced earlier so it affected all the services of health and social care
organizations in terms of financial conditions. Now the economy is stable and the
organizations are doing good job in providing the services.
3. Social factors: The society also plays an important role in this aspect, it's their
way of looking, how they are treating disable person, and how they are helping

the health and social care organization in providing the help to the people (Millar,
and Hall, 2013).
4. Technological factors: Technology is very crucial in today's world, as the new
technology is coming, there are different ways opening for the health and social
care organization to help the people, and to treat them by using all the new
equipment.
5. Legal factors: Legal rules and regulation are also a part of concern, where the
government can have different rules and the organization have to cope up with
that and by these circumstances how they are helping and providing support for
the people.
6. Environmental factors: This can also influence the health care organizations,
because they have to make sure that they are not affecting the environment, and
not destroying anything which will affect the environment.
1.2 Response to the impact of external factors
There are various external factors which are influencing the organization, but the way
organization is responding to them is also very important. There are some stakeholders also in
that organization so if the organization is not performing good, and the quality of the services
provided is not matching the standards set by the competitor, then the shares of the organization
will decrease and then staff have to give the response to the stakeholders also, because they are
the one who are investing the money in the organization to help people and to provide good
services, so if anything happens which is damaging the image of the organization, then
organization's staff will be responsible to give the response (Cameron, and et.al., 2014). There
are various approaches by which the organization can give the response like, keeping the record,
inspection, statistics and the accountability. First thing the organization have to do is to inspect.
Inspect all the process which are going on in their organization, so that if anything wrong is
happening there, then they will know, and then keeping the record of all the stakeholders. This is
done just in case, if any stakeholders claims unwanted amount of money from the organization,
then these is a record of the total money which the stakeholder demands and he owns to the
organization. The accounts' department of the organization should be responsible for all the
incomes and outcomes of the organization. Whatever is going in the organization should be well
noted by the department, they are responsible for that, so that if anything is extra or less is going
