64 Alternative Delivery Model for Adult Social Care Provider Services PDF 230 KB
Minutes:
The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People, which
sought approval to develop an alternative delivery model for some Adult Social
Care Provider Services.
The Board was advised that Sefton Council had approached Halton and Knowsley Councils to explore the opportunity of expanding
Sefton’s range of care services. Currently, Sefton was a sole shareholder in
Sefton New Directions (SND) which provided a range of care services including
day services re-ablement, intermediate care, respite
services and supported living. With investment from Halton and Knowsley Councils to expand the current organisation, this
would in effect be a shareholder agreement with SND.
The report set out a list of advantages for Halton of such a
partnership, for Members to consider. It was proposed that Halton would look to
incorporate In-house Learning Disability Services and recently purchased Care
Homes. To ensure full consideration of the impact of the proposal on Halton
services, it was proposed that a local Halton Operation Steering Group and a
Member Steering Board be established.
RESOLVED: That
1) the
Strategic Director, People, enters into further discussions with Sefton and Knowsley Councils to explore the opportunities for Halton
to develop an alternative delivery model for some Adult Social Care Provider
Services; and
2) a
further report be brought back to Executive Board.
