Health and social care services is becoming increasingly demanding. There are three major stakeholders in the social care sector whose activities are invaluable in the success or otherwise of the well-being of service users, these are the service provider, the service user and the family of the service user. The paper contextualised the invaluable importance of service users as core stakeholder in health and social care service within the grounded theory of protecting personhood and stressed the need to mainstream their informed consent, pinion and experience into the whole process of health and social care, in order to achieve and sustain the goals of social care delivery.
