Innovation, coupled with a commercial outlook, is the approach recently taken by Reigate & Banstead BC in an attempt to help improve the health outcomes for its residents. In a bold move, we are taking advantage of the need to meet the funding and ageing population challenges we are facing. We have just invested significantly in Pathway for Care – a groundbreaking health and social care company.

The new private company's services provide reassurance to individuals wanting to remain independent in their own homes and to their families. By 2018/19 Pathway for Care is expected to provide significant income for the council – income which will help us support our more vulnerable residents.
