INTRODUCTION
Interagency working is defined as more than one agency working together to solve
any issue or problem. Interagency working are conducted in multiple ways like multi
disciplinary, joint working, collaborations in many other ways (Sinha and et.al., 2018). In
United Kingdom all medical services are segregated into different agencies which requires
the collaborations or multi agencies involved in the health care services. Person cantered care
provide a specialised services to cure the individual in the best manner on the basis of the
needs and requirements of an individual. Whenever the multiple agencies engaged in any
case communication play an effective role to address the issue efficiently. Communication
also causes to a key barrier whenever multiple teams get involve with solving any medical
emergency. Multi disciplinary team also allows specialisation in medical services. Many
times patient needs special cure in the surveillance of specialist which are allotted to patient
through multi disciplinary services in medical. Multi disciplinary teams cover up all key areas
that facilitate the patient cure process in an efficient manner. This report would address all

over the health care sector. Legislation like The Health and Social Care Act 2012 are
associated with the health care sector in United Kingdom. While going along to entertain
health care services it becomes essential for the patient to overlook the package health care
organisation is granted to the patient against all the services would avail to the patient. This

Question1.
Multi factors in case study
The case study on Marry has involved multiple factors that can be projected in the
following points.
Emotional factor: In the case study of Marry emotional factor played a crucial role. Due to
ths factor even after the urgency of medical assurance to Mary’s husband Ted she was not
ready to send him in health care centre (Mitchell and et.al., 2016). Emotional factor is very
strong which resist the person to take necessary decision even if it’s needed. Emotional factor

was the dominating factor that did not allow the Marry to send his husband away from her in
Medicare services.
Cultural factor: Cultural factor has also involved in the case study. Cultural factor also drive
the fact where both husband and wife not like to live away from each other. In the present
case study due to this factor Marry was not ready to send her husband in the care centre and
not even her husband tried to cure him away from her wife.
Ethical factor: In the case study ethical factor was also a part of it. Ethical factor
demonstrate that it was the ethical responsibility of Marry to treat her husband in health care
centre in the best way possible (Uitdewilligen and Waller, 2018). It was also unethical to tad
her husband when she left for shopping. The entire scenario was unethical in context to marry
in this case study. The voluntary driver also felt ethical to inform the higher authority and
further the manager felt ethical to suggest some appropriate health care solution in regards to
the current situation of her husband.
Health care factor: Health care factor is also a part of this case study. In United Kingdom
health care system is very advanced which allows the human being to cure all the diseases
effectively (Bischoff and et.al., 2017). Mary’s husband was not well which required him to
cure in an appropriate manner. This factor is also a crucial part of this case study as at the end
due to manager involvement her husband was sent to medical centre for treatment.
Social factor: Social factor is also a part of this case study. Different other elements like
driver, manager and other social elements also becomes part of this case study. Health care
services also involve in social elements like medical staffs are a part of social elements.
Social elements always a part of any case studies.
Legal factor: In this case study legal factor also entertained. This is the legal right of the
Mary’s husband Ted to get the medical assurance against the disease. On the basis of the
information given by manager Gill assistant team started taking care of Ted as he holds a
legal right to cure against the medical issues he is facing.
The above mentioned elements are the key factors involved in the case study.
