In DHSC we are currently exploring the care journey for people who self-fund to understand how to better support individuals and families when looking for care. Minister for Care, Stephen Kinnock, has expressed interest in improving this experience, we are therefore running a survey to hear from people with lived experience of looking for care (either for themselves or someone else) – the survey can be found here: Adult Social Care Survey for Self-Funders – Fill in form.
Insights from the survey will help us consolidate our understanding and identify gaps where policy changes could make a real difference.
We’re seeking views on:
- Support individuals received to help them or their family member identify the care package required
- What information and advice assisted individuals to support their care choices
- What influences and criteria affected the decision of the provider selected
- What support could improve individuals experience
The survey will close on Friday 27 March.

From Summer 2026, a number of services based at Kingshill, Dorothy Pattison Hospital and Orchard Hills in Walsall will be moving to Goscote House. The new address will be: Goscote House, Goscote Lane, Walsall, WS3 1SJ.
The services impacting patients that will be moving to Goscote House are as follows:
- Talking Therapies
- Mental Health Primary Care
- Walsall Community Learning Disability Services
- Community Enablement and Recovery
- Complex Emotional Needs
- Employment and Recovery
We have worked to ensure that the day-to-day impact on both staff and patients due to this change is minimal.
We want to improve the places where we provide mental health and community care. Our plan is to offer services in better-equipped buildings that are geographically in the right place. This includes better transport links, accounting for local deprivation, and working to address health inequalities.
Goscote House will offer comparable areas, allowing patients to receive care in comfortable, modern spaces that meet their needs. Those who will see their care move to Goscote House will receive the same level of care as before and will still see the same person or team as before.
You can find details about the move, transport options, and email any questions you may have. Alternatively, please email bchft.yoursay@nhs.net by 6 May 2026
