Members received a report of the Older People and Dementia Task and Finish Group.

The Task and Finish Review had been commissioned by the former Health and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee on 1^st July 2010. The aim of the review had been to consider whether the Council, the NHS and the Voluntary Sector responses to dementia were adequate to meet the challenge of the aging population in Cheshire East. The findings and recommendations of the Task and Finish Group were contained within the final report.   

The Health and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee on 7^th March 2013 had endorsed the Task and Finish Group’s report and recommendations.

Councillor S Jones, as Chairman of the Task and Finish Group, attended the meeting and spoke on the matter.

It was proposed that the Health and Adult Care Services Portfolio Holder refer the report to the Health and Adult Social Care Policy Development Group for consideration. Members noted that some of the figures in the Task and Finish Group’s report needed to be updated and asked that this be done when the matter came back to Cabinet.

RESOLVED

That

(1)  the report be received and the Health and Adult Care Services Portfolio Holder undertake to report back to a future meeting of Cabinet with a formal response to each recommendation; and

(2)  the Health and Adult Care Services Portfolio Holder refer the report and applicable recommendations to the Health and Adult Social Care Policy Development Group for consideration.
