Report of the Managing Director

The Managing Director submitted a report (previously circulated) requesting that Members gave consideration to a request received from Councillor Holroyd that a Review of Adult Care Services during Covid be added to this Scrutiny Committee’s Work Programme.

The submitted report stated that a request had been received from a Member of this Committee requesting that this Scrutiny Committee hold a review, in conjunction with the Health and Housing Scrutiny Committee, into how the service coped during the pandemic, how the service users and their families found them, and any changes which need to be made as a result, or any ongoing needs which might be identified, to inform ahead of any future waves of coronavirus and associated restrictions / lockdowns, or any other future disease outbreak response which may be required.

The submitted report invited Members to make a decision on whether this item should be added to its Work Programme, and, if so, how the work should proceed.

RESOLVED – (a) That a Task and Finish Review Group be established to undertake the work outlined in the Quad of Aims, and that an invitation be extended to Members of the Health and Housing Scrutiny Committee to participate in the work.

(b) That the Work Programme be updated accordingly.
