Decision:
That
the Adult Services Assisted Transport Policy be implemented as attached in
Appendix 1 and 2 to the circulated report.
Reason for Decision:
To
enable the Council to take into account the strengths and transport resources
available to individuals and, where applicable, their carers when undertaking
an assessment or reassessment of individual’s needs. This will ensure independent travel is
promoted wherever possible, that a sustainable range of good quality adult
social care services are available to meet the needs of the most vulnerable
citizens of Neath Port Talbot, and contribute towards the budgetary savings
identified in the Council’s Forward Financial Plan.
Implementation of Decision:
The
decision will be implemented after the three day call in period.
Consultation:
Members
previously approved a 90 day public consultation period in respect of the
policy. During this period, 8 April to the 8 July 2019 a number of consultation
and engagement activities took place.
The outcome of the activity is detailed in Appendix 4 to the circulated
report. This has helped confirm the
content of the final policy.
