Decision details

The Adults Transport Vision (as agreed in March 2015) proposed that CYC should consider implementing a more personalised approach to transport whereby existing adult customers are able to exercise greater choice and control over their transport arrangements - in line with the principles of the Care Act 2014. Prevention is a primary aim, ensuring new adult customers only access commissioned transport provision as an option of last resort.

The Executive is asked to approve a recommended option for the future provision of transport for adult customers.

This item has been deferred to the April Executive in order to carry out further research and analysis.

Resolved:   That the Executive approves:

a)    Option 1 within the report – the personalised approach for customer transport;

b)    The eligibility criteria for access to transport services (as set out in Section 7.2) of the report;

c)    The closure of the CYC Fleet Transport Service by March 2020;

d)    The establishment of a Transport Service User and Carer Forum to help manage the transitional arrangements and ensure all views are listened to and taken into account as the process evolves over the next  2 to 3 years.

Reason:      To deliver a sustainable, integrated transportation model which empowers adult customers to exercise independence, choice and control over their transport arrangements (in line with the principles of the Care Act 2014).
