To approve the arrangements to recommission Care at Home services.

The committee received a report which sought approval for the redesign and recommission of a new Children’s Care at Home Purchasing System.

There was extensive debate and concerns were raised by some Members about supporting the recommendations in the report without further detail. A number of Members expressed a view that this report required scrutiny from the Finance Sub-Committee before returning to the Children and Families Committee.

A motion was moved and seconded which sought to approve the recommendations outlined in the report and the motion was declared lost.

A further motion was moved and seconded to refer the item to the Finance Sub-Committee for scrutiny and for the report to be brought back to the Children and Families Committee following this. The motion was declared carried. 

RESOLVED:

1.    That the report be referred to the Finance Sub-Committee for scrutiny.

2.    That the report be brought back to the Children and Families Committee for consideration following scrutiny at the Finance Sub-Committee.
