Minute 523 (Cabinet Book 2, Agenda Item No. 18 refers)

Called-in by Councillors Cox and Davidson

The Committee considered Minute 523 of the meeting of Cabinet held on 5^th November 2019 which had been called in to Scrutiny together with a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (People). This presented the draft of the ‘Working to make lives better – how did we do?’ summary for Adult Social Care in 2018-19.

The Committee asked questions on a number of matters, which were responded to as follows:-

·           The format of the high level summary is designed to be brief and perhaps needs a list of contact numbers, for example, to help sign-post residents. The Cabinet Member for Health & Adult Social Care said that further work was underway on producing this information, providing further details in community hubs, Children’s Centres, Borough Libraries etc. and that the full report would be available mid-January;

·           Future summaries will include further details on numbers, alongside the comment ‘higher proportion’ etc.

Resolved:-

That the following decision of Cabinet be noted:-

“That the draft ‘Working to make lives better – how did we do?’ be noted as the Council’s self-assessment summary for these services.”
