Decision details
Revised approach to day support in adult social care
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
This item sets out a proposal for the future
of day support in adult social care. Day support provision has
changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic: A number of day services have
been remodelled to provide bespoke support to individuals through
telephone contact, home visits and supporting people to get out
into the community.
This item proposes that we build on this change, developing a new
model of day support that has a greater focus on community access
hubs and our strengths-based approach to adult social care.
The proposal includes previously agreed savings of £317,000
per year from 2021-22 and proposes additional savings of
£252,000 as part of the 2021-24 Medium-Term Financial
Strategy.
Decision:
Pre-Decision Scrutiny Questions and officer responses were noted.
DECISION
1. To note the proposed programme of consultation and engagement on day support services, to commence on 1st November 2020,
2. To note the proposed future model for day support services in adult social care, subject to refinement pending the outcome of the consultation. Any future key decisions on this issue will be returned to Cabinet in early 2021.
