Jayne Marshall, Lead Commissioner, Community Care Market presented the performance report of the Director of Adults' Care & Health & Strategic Commissioning which had been designed based on discussions with Members through working group activity in 2020 and 2021.

Jayne reported that there was a continued reduction in the numbers of people in placement with a 19.9 % vacancy rate. Seven care homes had closed due to covid infections.

Members questioned details in the report and established:

·  That although half of care homes had been rated less than good, residents remained safe and that the service worked closely to intervene and put action plans in place to improve results.

·  That the 66 alters to CQC, 44 are abuse or serious injury, were safeguarding referrals and would have been investigated.

Resolved: - That the content of the report be noted.
