Minutes:

5.1

Andy Hiles asked a question regarding social care provision to adults with severe learning conditions.  Mr. Hiles said that one of the city’s current providers of social care was Citizenship First and from 1st April, the terms and conditions of that company’s service were changing.  He said that the service users would be expected to pay for their own, and possibly for their carer’s, refreshment costs incurred during lunchtime.  He questioned whether this was right legally and morally and asked if this was something the City Council could look into.

 

 

5.2

The Chair said that, as commissioners of this service, she would check the rules and policies of these companies and provide a written response to Mr. Hiles.
