14.2

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

1.    Note the extension of the current Care at Night Service until the 30th of September 2023.

2.    Endorse the proposal for an options appraisal and agree that the outcomes of the options appraisal and proposals for recommissioning of Care at Night Services are progressed.

14.3

14.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

14.4.1

The option of “do nothing” was considered. However, given that the current contract will end in March 2023 and a recommissioning of care and wellbeing services is underway there is no longer an option to do nothing.

14.4.2

The extension of the contract will provide the opportunity to review the current delivery model and build upon the learning and partnerships built over this last 5 years. It provides an opportunity to take account of the joint ambitions and priorities of the Council and ICB Sheffield as well as learning from the new city-wide Care and Well Being Service which will be implemented in summer of 2023.
