A report by the Director of Adult Social Services set out a number of options for change in the way support services are commissioned by the Department of Adult Social Services. The proposals were presented in the context of promoting self directed support and the need to realise significant financial efficiencies over the next three years.  The matter involved a key decision first identified in the Forward Plan dated November 2009.

RESOLVED: That

(1)  contracts for residential and nursing care be revised in accordance with para 3.6;

(2)  contracts for domiciliary care be revised in accordance with para 4.6; and

(3)  contracts for Supported Living Services be revised in accordance with para 4.8.
