Issue - decisions

Members received a report which informed the Executive Member on the progress of the review of the In House home care service. The Executive Member agreed in June 2006 to receive a further report which detailed the consultation process with staff on the proposed restructure and contractual changes that have taken place with staff following that report.

The report advised that a number of concerns were raised through the consultation which were summarised in a table under paragraph 21.2 along with the management’s response.

Two options were presented to Members:

Option1 – To endorse the proposals as laid out in the report.

Option 2 – To retain services in their current structures.

Advice of the Advisory Panel

That the Executive Member for Adult Social Services be advised to approve the proposal to establish the revised home care structure as described within the report.
