Market Oversight and Sustainability - Adult Social Care

Decision:

10.1

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Adult Health and Social Care which sought approval from Committee for Sheffield’s Market Oversight and Sustainability Plan 2023/24 (Appendix 1 of the report), which set out how the Council will ensure that it fulfils its statutory duties as set out in the Care Act 2014.

 

The report also asked Committee to endorse a Care Quality Framework (Appendix 2 of the report) which sought to define the standards the Council expects from the delivery of care by all adult social care services: both our Council run service and all commissioned care services.

 

These two documents form part of the Council’s Care Governance Strategy, contributing to improving our performance, quality and outcomes

 

 

10.2

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

 

 

 

1.    Approves Sheffield’s Market Oversight and Sustainability Plan 2023/24;

 

2.    Approves the Care Quality Framework; and

 

3.    Requests that the Director of Adult Health and Social Care review and refreshes the Market Oversight and Sustainability Plan and the Care Quality Framework annually for subsequent consideration by the Committee

 

 

10.3

Reasons for Decision

 

 

10.3.1

The recommendations arise from the Council’s market shaping responsibilities and from the need to fulfil the conditions for receiving the DHSC’s Market Sustainability and Fair Cost of Care Fund (2022-23).

 

 

10.4

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

 

 

10.4.1

The development of Market Sustainability Plans is consistent with Council’s duty to oversee and if necessary to intervene in the market to ensure that people have a choice of good quality support providers to choose from should they need to draw on social care services, whether funded by themselves or from public funds.
