To inform the Executive of the challenges facing day services and to seek approval to begin an engagement process with stakeholders.
Additional documents:
Decision:
1. To authorise the commencement of Stage 1 of the process to improve the day offer for older people and adults with disabilities, as set out in paragraphs 31 to 34 of the report.
2. That a report be presented to a future Executive meeting detailing the outcome of the processes set out in paragraphs 31 to 34 of the report, and requesting approval of the future offer.
Minutes:
The Executive considered a report from the Executive Member for Social Care and Housing on the challenges facing day services. The report also sought approval to begin an engagement process with stakeholders to help shape the future of day services for older people and disabled adults that would then formally be consulted upon prior to being presented to a future meeting of the Executive.
In response to questions, the Executive Member for Social Care and Housing advised that no plans for the future of the service had been made and that was why this engagement process was so important to enable the Council to develop a clear understanding of requirements. Customers and relatives would be fully supported through this process. There had been a decline in adults with disabilities using the day centres as they were now using their personal budgets to participate in other activities.
Reason for decision: To enable the Council to seek the views of customers, their relatives and other stakeholders to develop the day offer for older people and adults with disabilities before going out to formal consultation prior to presenting a proposal to the Executive.
RESOLVED
1. to authorise the commencement of Stage 1 of the process to improve the day offer for older people and adults with disabilities, as set out in paragraphs 31 to 34 of the report; and
2. that a report be presented to a future Executive meeting detailing the outcome of the processes set out in paragraphs 31 to 34 of the report, and requesting approval of the future offer.
