Report of Director, Adult Health and Social Care

Decision:

12.           

 

APPROVE ADAPTATIONS, HOUSING AND HEALTH UPDATE

 

12.1

The Committee was asked to consider a report which outlined the demand position of the Adaptations, Health and Housing services following the COVID pandemic.

 

 

 

 

 

The report of the Director of Adult Health and Social Care, presented by Die Green, Service Manager and Jo Pass, Assistant Director Ageing Well North, updated the Committee on the impact that had been made through the recovery plan agreed in August 2021. The report also detailed proposed measures to continue the delivery plan for those services.

 

 

 

 

12.2

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the Adult Health and Social Care Policy Committee:-

 

 

 

 

 

(a) Note the Adult Health & Social Care Equipment and Adaptations performance update.

 

 

 

 

 

(b) Endorse the Equipment and Adaptations Delivery Plan at Appendix 2.

 

 

 

 

 

(c) Endorse the Adult Health & Social Care Equipment and Adaptation Financial Recovery Actions identified at section 3.2.12.

 

 

 

 

 

(d) Requests that the Director of Adult Health & Social Care provides the Committee with updates on progress and outcomes in relation to the performance and financial spend on a six monthly basis.

 

 

 

 

12.3

Reasons for Decision

 

 

 

 

12.3.1

An approved delivery plan gives a structured approach to the promotion of independent living through equipment and adaptations 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 will do this.

 

 

 

 

12.3.2

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

 

 

 

 

12.4.1

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.
