Agenda item

5.1

Sheila Manclark asked that following the Clinical Commissioning Group’s 13 commitments to dementia in Sheffield, how will the revised Sheffield City Council dementia strategy support the elements of the CCG proposing personalised local support for people with dementia and support for families and carers?

5.2

Andy Shallice asked that now that dementia commissioning for day support services has been abandoned, after already running late, can we assume that the significant flaw of separate strands for supporting people with initial/mild dementia, and those with more advanced dementia, so emphasising continuity of care, will be addressed?

5.3

The Chair, Councillor Cate McDonald, stated that there is to be an update at the next meeting of the Committee to be held in September, on the Dementia Strategy and its impact in the City.  Councillor McDonald also stated that she would request the Cabinet Member with responsibility for dementia care, to respond in writing to the questions raised.  Officers in attendance from the Clinical Commissioning Group agreed to provide written answers to the questions raised where these related to the activities of the CCG.
