If you're a community or voluntary group working in Ceredigion, how could section 16 impact you?
* There may be more opportunities for funding - as the tenders for services are more likely to be open, third sector organisations could have opportunities that weren't available before to be commissioned for services by the statutory sector (Council and Health Board)
* There will be more parthership working - as the commissioned services will be more complex, it offers the chance for specialised groups to work together to offer a complete commissioned service
* Extended training could become available - where current services are provided 'in-house' by the Council and Health Board, if they commission the same services in future, they may open up their existing training to the commissioned groups.
