Issue - meetings

          The Board considered a report of the Executive Director – Adult Services, which presented the draft Adult Social Care Commissioning Strategy for Care and Support 2023 – 2026 for approval. The Strategy document outlined the Council's Commissioning intentions over the next three years which would aim to support residents, unpaid carers and their families to have access to the right services, information, advice and guidance in order to make good decisions about the care and support they need.

Reason(s) for Decision

The priorities and commissioning intentions identified within the Strategy will not only aim to support addressing key local challenges identified but will prioritise approaches that reduced or delayed the need for care and support, building on the strengths of people’s existing support networks and also ensured we adhere to our duties under the Care Act 2014.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

The commissioning intentions and associated actions listed within the Strategy have been carefully considered and it is felt that they present the best options available to promote health and wellbeing and deliver services which lead to positive outcomes for people.

Implementation Date

This is a three-year strategy which takes effect from 1 April 2023 and runs to 31 March 2026.

RESOLVED:  That

1)    contents of the report and associated Appendix be noted; and

2)    the draft Strategy be approved.
