Minutes:
Councillor Rachel Blake, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Adults, Health and Wellbeing, introduced the report. She highlighted that the review had been going on for some time and that the context had changed significantly over that period due to the pandemic. She welcomed the thorough work of the Scrutiny Committee and the valuable report they had presented. This group of residents had seen a particularly negative impact from the pandemic. Two particular themes that were important were on transition planning from children to adult social care and then also the development of suitable accommodation for adults with learning disabilities. This work was ongoing.
Councillor Gabriella Salva Macallan, Chair of the Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee thanked officers for reviewing the original recommendations following the experiences of the pandemic. She highlighted that the committee had concerns over issues such as the mortality rate noted in the report and in speech and language support. She asked that key performance indicators be reported to the sub-committee on a regular basis.
The Mayor welcomed the report and highlighted the importance of this area of work. He proposed the recommendation as set out, this was unanimously agreed by those Members present and it was:
RESOLVED
