This interim report presents details of the work carried out to date by the Task Group appointed to undertake the Supporting Older People Scrutiny Review.

Members received an interim report on the work carried out to date by the Task Group appointed to undertake the Supporting Older People Scrutiny Task Group.

One Member questioned given the length of time that had been spent what the aims and objectives of the review, as there were no recommendations. She felt that there should have been monitoring on pilot working and that residents should have been listened to in order to find out whether certain pilots such as the Better Care Fund pilot had kept people out of hospital.

Another Member questioned why Wardens from Council Sheltered Housing did not record tenants’ information in regards to hospital admissions.

Officers responded that Wardens knew when tenants were in hospital but this was not routinely recorded. However, this was now being undertaken.

Resolved: That the report be noted.

Reason:    To ensure compliance with scrutiny procedures and  protocols.
