Decision details

This part 2 report contained the initial local plans for the full Accommodation with Care and Support Programme, which the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Wellbeing and Independence said was presented separately from the part 1 report due to their commercial sensitivity.

Cabinet were asked to agree that the local plans continued to be developed with partners in order to re-shape the market and increase the accommodation with care and support options available in Surrey.

RESOLVED:

That the emerging local plans as set out in the submitted report be noted, and agree these continue to be developed with partners. 

Reasons for Recommendations:

With changing demographics, increasing financial challenges, and a joint health and social care strategy to support people to live independently in their homes for as long as possible, the Council needs to commission the right accommodation options to meet eligible residents’ health and wellbeing needs. To do this, the Council will work with partners and developers in the private sector to shape the market for accommodation with care and support. This annex sets out the initial opportunities identified locally and asks the Cabinet to agree that these continue to be developed.
