The Corporate Director of Adult Social Care and Integration presented a report which sought approval for a market position statement (MPS), as part of the market shaping and engagement process required under the Care Act 2014 to ensure services met the needs of the city’s population.

The MPS, attached as Annex A to the report, would shape the direction of travel for the next 3 years.  It had been developed by the Head of All Age Commissioning & Contracting, with consultation across internal and external stakeholders.  It was intended to help all current and future providers of social care and community healthcare to understand the care changes anticipated by the council and health partners, as well as potential opportunities to innovate and improve future service delivery.

The Executive Member for Adult Social Care & Public Health supported the recommendations and thanked officers for their hard work in developing an excellent MPS with residents’ priorities at its core.
