APPROVE FUTURE DESIGN OF ADULT SOCIAL CARE

13.1

The Committee received a report of the Director of Adult Health and Social Care, presented by Jon Brenner, Head of Social Care Change and Strategy, which provided the Committee with further information on plans to deliver the Adult Health and Social Care Strategy ‘Living the Live you Want to Live’ through a new operating model and design for adult social care in Sheffield.

13.2

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

(a) Approve the future direction of adult social care operating model, and confirm it aligns with the Committee’s strategic direction.

(b) Agree that the Director of Adult Health and Social Care brings a six-monthly report noting update and progress made with implementation of the model to Committee.

13.3

Reasons for Decision

The operating model gives a structured design for the vision, outcomes and commitments set out in the overall strategy. It will also provide greater accountability and transparency of how will do this.

13.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

13.4.1

No new operating model - There is an alternative available to not specifically design a new operating model.  However, this would result in a less coherent adult social care system, and would also lack the accountability and transparency of informed decision making required in a democratic organisation.

 13.4.2

A different delivery plan - The real options for the operating model are around the individual elements, which will be worked through as part of the constituent pieces of work. These will be worked through in different ways, with some of them resulting in their own future reports to the Committee.
