Issue - decisions

Resolved:

a)   That the receipt of £1.101m from the Better Care Fund (BCF), complimented by the contribution from the Council’s own capital budget, be noted.

b)   That Option 1, to amend to the Private Sector Assistance Policy (the policy) and introduce a number of changes to the policy around the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) element, including some transitional arrangements, be agreed.

Reason:              To ensure that the increased DFG funding allocation is used effectively and offers a prompt and streamlined service which aims to prevent, reduce and delay need for NHS commissioned and Social Care services.
