Issue - meetings

The Board received the first of a two part evaluation which summarised how the Care Act had resulted in a number of changes in the way Care Management carried out its various processes. 

The document was attached to the report at Appendix 1 and discussed by Members, who commented that they were thankful for the detail and they looked forward to receiving the second report, which would help determine what difference the Care Act was actually making.

It was noted that the second more difficult part would be presented to the Board at a later date.  This would look at how these changes in health and social care were making a difference to the lives of adults with needs in Halton.  Further these two reports would provide evidence of how effective the Act had been in helping adults with a long term illness to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives while retaining their independence and active roles in their community for as long as possible. 

RESOLVED:  That the contents of the report and Appendix are noted.
