Decision details

Following consideration of a report in September on proposals to enhance day and short break services, potentially involving the transfer of some services, it had been intended to consider the matter further in December following a period of consultation.  A range of alternative suggestions had, however, been received during the consultation and in order to give them full consideration this interim report had been prepared in order to provide a progress report on the consultation and also to indicate the timescales needed for the preparation of the required business case(s).

RESOLVED

1.    That the importance of taking relevant inputs into account when preparing business case proposals be agreed, and that the full findings of the consultation be reported at a future date.

2.    That the continuing work to develop robust proposals for each locality; the work with Local Engagement Groups in Knutsford, Crewe & Nantwich and Macclesfield, which include carer and service user representatives; and negotiations with alternative service partners and stakeholders, be endorsed.
