With regard to Extra Care Housing, Sylvia Parry asked whether there was sufficient work taking place to ensure that joined up thinking was happening between each Community Assembly area, and in response Miranda Plowden, Director of Commissioning, stated that there were already several good news stories with regard to provision of new sheltered housing, for example at Stocksbridge with 50 new flats being built at Newton Grange, and she added that the model of care in each Community Assembly area was now that of virtual extra care and that members of the public would be consulted as part of the process. |
