Graham Hodkinson, Director of Care and Health introduced the report of the Director of Resources and outlined that the report formed part of the Council’s formal budget setting process and gave the Adult Social Care and Health Committee opportunity to comment on the proposals that fall within its remit, which would enable those comments to be presented for consideration by Policy and Resources Committee at its meeting in February 2021.

The report included a savings proposal through a service review of the day services for people with Learning Disabilities provided by Wirral Evolutions. The review’s aim was to manage the cost of current provision through service changes with potential savings of £500,000.

Members felt that there was no need to further comment on the proposals whilst the public consultation was ongoing, and the comments the Committee made on the budget options at the previous meeting were still pertinent and should still be considered.

Resolved – That

the resolutions agreed under Minute Item 19 at the previous meeting of the Adult Social Care and Health Committee on the budget options be considered by the Policy and Resources Committee as part of the budget consultation.
