Jason Oxley, Assistant Director of Care and Health presented the report which set out the Council and the NHS approach to working with Care Homes to meet required national and local standards and regulations, particularly during the pandemic. The report outlined the approach that the quality improvement team undertook to improve performance to homes rated ‘inadequate’ or ‘requires improvement’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Members noted that the Committee had already held an in-depth discussion on care homes with an ‘inadequate’ or ‘requires improvement’ CQC rating when considering the Adult Social Care and Health Performance Report.

RESOLVED – That

the report and the ongoing work to support vulnerable people within the Borough be noted.
