social care organisation does not able to provides proper HSC services and facilities to person
who suffered by several health diseases and problems. As per define Baby P who suffered by 50
injuries within only 8 months’ period. This is one of the famous child abuse case of UK. Thus, it

and efficient manner. Along with this, at this time media as a source using by every person

context of Baby P, if that time society’s person knows about Peter’s problem so that may be take
appropriate action for Peter as well as their family members. Thus, it is necessary to be adopt and
use effective source of media while providing actual information to person.
It is necessary to be collected and gathered information must be authentic and reliable in
the nature because it directly impacts on person’s attitude and behaviour. As per the information
persons will take action and set their mind. Hence, it is required must be identify the actual

facilities to persons so that they can recover from their health diseases and problems. Along with

appropriate action towards their health issues in an impelling way. In the other words, at this
most of the persons are suffered by several problems and they do not know how they can resolve
their issues with better solutions. Therefore, it is necessary to be use appropriate sources and
tools for providing actual information to individuals related to HSC. In the other hand, Baby P
was an English boy who suffered by 50 injuries over than 8 months’ periods. This is the largest
child abuse case of UK. It is required to be used and adopt appropriate methods and tools for
providing actual and reliable information to persons in an effective and efficient manner. hence,

level regular increased illegal and cheating things in the health and social care sector. Therefore,
it is necessary to be use effective methods and tools for providing actual and reliable information
to all persons who lives in society. So that they can take appropriate decisions towards their
health issues as well as resolve their health diseases in an effective manner. along with this, it is
necessary to be provide proper and actual information related to health care sector to all

accordingly take their decisions. Information is spread on a large scale using the different sources
4

Through these medium which raises the scope of health and care department and also facilitates
more and effective communication which further assist in ensuring development. Apart from this
media also impact the authenticity of information. For example, health and social care reports
issued under Government establishments or pressure groups may want them to publish

4.1 The extent to which local attitudes reflect on national level
As per above define health and social care is one of the largest sector at worldwide level.
Thus, HSC consider different health related issues and problems which impact on society’s
persons. Therefore, is necessary to be use appropriate methods and techniques for resolving these
causes in an effective manner. apart from this, most of the persons are suffered from several
health issues and diseases (Lymbery, 2010). Hence, they cannot able to take appropriate health
6

services and facilities from government hospital. Therefore, individual cannot able to get proper
satisfaction towards their health issues and problems in an effective manner. along with this, it is
necessary to be conduct some effective health care programmes and activities for society so that
they can aware about their health issues and diseases. Effective HSC functions are aids to
increase awareness and enhanced knowledge level of all persons so that they can significantly
analyse and identify the health issues in an impressive manner. apart from this, while persons are
affected at domestic level by health issues then might be possible it may be influence at national
level. Therefore, it is required to be used appropriate methods and techniques for increased
awareness related to the health care sectors in an effective way. Additionally, must be conduct
some health care programs and activities for society so that they can gather actual and reliable
information about this sector as well as their health diseases. Apart from this, at this time it is
necessary to be provide proper information related to the health of persons in an effective way
because they are suffered by several health diseases and problems. (Chakraborty and et. al., 2011)
4.2 Validity of public attitudes and behaviours in relation to specific use
Response of the persons may be differing as per distinctive circumstances. Thus, there are
several type of bills had passed by Victoria house which easily accepted by society’s persons in
an effective manner. due to this, most of the person of nation can easily and freely take better
health care services and facilities from government hospitals as well as resolve their health
related issues and problems in an impelling manner. apart from this, at this time most of the
persons are suffered from several health problems and diseases hence it is required to be
provides better health care services and facilities to them. So that they can get proper satisfaction
towards their health issues and problems. Additionally, must be conduct some effective health
care programmes and activities for persons so that they can gather proper information related to
the health care sector in an impelling way. With the help of this, they can significantly identify
the health issues and problems as well as resolve them with the help of effective solutions. It aids
to reduce health issues and as well as negative things from the nations. (Dein and et. al., 2010). As
there are limited resources available and there are excess of demand in this sector it becomes
difficult for the care takers to manage and keep every person satisfied. For instance, there are
several medical issues that are common like diabetes. Some people get accurate treatment for the
same and some may not receive the same satisfaction level. This lead to disappointments among
them and hence show a different attitude towards the health and care sector.

4.3 Justify the possible consequence of contemporary thinking for HSC provisions and services

take appropriate health care services and facilities for resolving their health issues in an effective
manner. at this time, most of the physician are using smart and advance technologies in health

be spread among the public and hence they will gt to know about the problem prevailing in the
health sector.
