Issue details

Purpose of Report: This Commissioning Strategy lays out, at a high level, how the City of York Council intends to shift the balance of care in order to meet the growing needs of local people while working with reduced funding. By doing so, the council will focus on promoting well-being and an asset-based community development approach to the commissioning process. Councils with Adult Social Services responsibilities are required by the Care Act of 2014 to oversee the care market, collaborate with providers to develop high-quality services, guarantee capacity to meet local needs, and ensure the safety of service users. The Strategy helps the council to fulfil this duty by setting out our commissioning intentions.

The Executive will be asked to approve the strategy.
