Adult Care and Wellbeing Budget, Risk Management and Financial Governance PDF 228 KB

Decision:

8.1
|
The Committee considered a report of the
Strategic Director for Adult Care and Wellbeing which sought to
provide the following:
-
Assurance regarding delivery on the financial recovery plan in
2023/24
-
Timeline for business planning for the 2025/26 financial year
-
Updates on the Use of Resources Delivery Plan
-
Overview of risk management approach in Adults Care and
Wellbeing
-
Proposed changes to charges for the protection of people’s
property
|
|
|
|
|
8.2
|
RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Adult Health and Social Care Policy Committee:-
|
|
|
1. Approve the proposal to
update property charges.
2. Note the update to the
financial forecast for the delivery of savings in 2023/24.
3. Note the updates on
governance and risk management.
4. Request updates on
progress with implementation through our Budget Delivery Reports to
future Committee.

Reasons for
Decision
|
|
|
|
|
8.3.1

These recommendations are made to support
strategic planning and operational decisions that are necessary for
the long-term sustainability of adult health and social care and
the long-term benefit of people in Sheffield.

Alternatives
Considered and Rejected
|
|
|
|
|
8.4.1
|
For the proposal to update the charging policy
for property searches and storage. The alternative option would
be:
1. To maintain the current disparity on
charging. This option was rejected as there was no basis to favour
one group of people over another for cost of conducting property
searches.
2. To provide storage for free. This option
was rejected as there is a cost against public funds to provide the
service. Storage has been provided free of charge, incurring costs
that could otherwise be used to provide care and support. The
proposed schedule of fees offers good value for money for those who
benefit from it. Establishing the principle of charging for this
specific service is also a prudent step should external storage
facilities be required in the future.

Decision:
|
9.1
|
The Committee considered a report of the
Strategic Director Adult Care and Wellbeing which provided the

robust response towards safeguarding adults from abuse and
neglect.

report.
2.
Endorse the ‘Safeguarding Responsibilities Guidance’

commitment to protect people from abuse and harm. It will also
provide greater accountability and transparency of how will do
this.
Asking

the Council to account for progress and provide an additional
mechanism to input to future development.

Carers Strategy Annual Report PDF 212 KB
Additional documents:
Decision:
11.1
The Committee considered a
report of the Strategic Director for Adult Care and Wellbeing which
provided an update to the Adult Health and Social Care Committee on
progress of our multi-agency Carers Delivery Plan (2022-2025).
RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Adult Health and Social Care Policy Committee:
1.
Recognise the positive progress made on delivery of the Carers
Delivery Plan (2022-2025).
2.
Reaffirm our commitment to people who are unpaid carers across the
city, so they feel recognised, valued, and supported and request
that the Strategic Director brings a report to Committee setting
out how we will become a Carer Friendly City. 3. Acknowledge the
future actions the Delivery Plan aim to deliver.
4.
Request that the Strategic Director Adult Care and Wellbeing brings
back updates every 6 months as an assurance on delivery of the
plan.
Reasons for Decision
We
want to be bold and ambitious and make Sheffield a carer friendly
city. We recognise, value and support our carers and the vital role
they have in our communities. We know from the first 12 months that
the Carers Delivery Plan has positively impacted the lives of
carers but there is still much more to do.
Carers are vital to our health and social care systems. They
provide care to some of the most vulnerable in our communities and
in doing so save the economy billions of pounds per year, however
being a carer can lead to social, educational and health
inequalities. It is therefore essential that we recognise, value
and support those in a caring role and prevent inappropriate
caring, especially with young carers; our Carers Delivery Plan
empowers us do this.

The
performance updates and focused delivery plan gives a structured
approach to the promotion of independent living as well as how the
service is addressing waiting lists and impact of the pandemic. It
will also provide greater accountability and transparency of how we
will do this.
Asking for regular updates and refreshes of the plan will keep the
Committee, wider stakeholders, and the public the ability to hold
the Council to account for progress and provide an additional
mechanism to input to future development.
Alternatives Considered and
Rejected
The
alternative options considered were: Don’t complete a
delivery plan for equipment and adaptations performance and
financial recovery. This would not provide the assurances required
to ensure that we are striving towards a high performing and
financially sustainable service.
CARERS STRATEGY ANNUAL
REPORT
The
Committee considered a report of the Strategic Director for Adult
Care and Wellbeing which provided an update to the Adult Health and
Social Care Committee on progress of our multi-agency Carers
Delivery Plan (2022-2025).
RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Adult Health and Social Care Policy Committee:
1.
Recognise the positive progress made on delivery of the Carers
Delivery Plan (2022-2025).
2.
Reaffirm our commitment to people who are unpaid carers across the
city, so they feel recognised, valued, and supported and request
that the Strategic Director brings a report to Committee setting
out how we will become a Carer Friendly City. 3. Acknowledge the
future actions the Delivery Plan aim to deliver.
4.
Request that the Strategic Director Adult Care and Wellbeing brings
back updates every 6 months as an assurance on delivery of the
plan.
Reasons for Decision
We
want to be bold and ambitious and make Sheffield a carer friendly
city. We recognise, value and support
our carers and the vital role they have in our communities. We know
from the first 12 months that the Carers Delivery Plan has
positively impacted the lives of carers but there is still much
more to do.
Carers are vital to our health and social care systems. They
provide care to some of the most vulnerable in our communities and
in doing so save the economy billions of pounds per year, however
being a carer can lead to social, educational and health
inequalities. It is therefore essential that we recognise, value
and support those in a caring role and prevent inappropriate
caring, especially with young carers; our Carers Delivery Plan
empowers us do this.
Alternatives Considered and
Rejected
Option – Not to update to the Delivery Plan –
Rejected.
Now
is the right time to reaffirm our commitment to carers. The Council
and its partners want to continue to make Sheffield a carer
friendly city.
