There are various partnership relationships in health and social service.
The main purpose of working together as a partnership includes:
 Trusting each other

 Working as a team
 Shared working
And it avoids every kinds of obstruction that may arise (Walsh, 2010)
Relationship working is when one or more than one industries are operating collectively in a
cohesive way and inaugurate the duty together and work as one agency.
The Clinical Commissioning Group was established in 2012 to permit NHS professional and
Health-talk online to improve on the service render to the community.
Care Quality Commission (CQC) was introduced in 2008 to control and regulate the care
services of health. The CQC has the power to shut down any healthcare industry that
doesn’t work up to standard. They monitor, inspect and regulate health care services.
Partnership Relationship with users of services.
It is necessary to identify the people we support in social as well as health care providing
services. These people are:
 Children
 Elderly
 Young people in care

The relationship among these people in social as well as health care setting have seen to
not been that much powerful and strong because both the old age people and the
individual suffering from disability don’t have access to the service render to them by
the company provider.
These people are discriminated because of their disability, age in certain services (Glasby
and Tuttlechild 2004)
The people with mental, physical or partial disabilities is abused, neglected or
discriminated by social as well as health care staff members.
But business operation among the agency (professional bodies) has changed how these
people are treated in our society today.
Asylum Seekers are discriminated in health care setting because they are homeless, they
are very poor and have no health services available for them due to worldwide violence.
The asylum seekers or refugees are discriminated in health care services due to their
status (Herne 2008)
According to the examination and survey investigation passaged by Sussex Scowfield and
Herne (2008) stated that the refugees are discriminated and not allowed to be admitted
into public hospitals. But now there is an improvement in partnership relationship as it
provided by H&SC Services and other professional bodies.

government agencies as well as non-government companies and other beneficent and
charity funded organisation in the way of improving the quality and quantity of services
which are being offered.

works in partnerships, communicate with each other, collaborate in a cohesive way,
integrate as one agency.
