PRE-SCRUTINY Minutes: The
Committee scrutinised the following matters: Cabinet
Board Proposals 5.1 Western Bay Area Plan for Care and Support Needs 2018 – 2023. The Committee received information in relation to the Western
Bay Area Plan for Care and Support Needs 2018 – 2023 as contained within the
circulated report. Members noted that the ethos of the plan in relation to
enabling citizens and focussing on wellbeing was dependent on the ability of
services to react and be fit for purpose. Members also noted the themes of
independent working and living through the plan and raised concern for those
people that may need to move away from their communities and the importance of
joining up services such as social housing and regeneration. The
ongoing work into the Asset Based approach was discussed and Members looked
forward to receiving updates on this as the work progresses. The Committee asked for further information in relation to
the ‘Citizen’s Panel’ and they were informed that it comprises of a network of
genuine service users and not paid representatives from organisations. Members expressed concern about transport and accessibility
issues, particularly in Valleys Communities. Members were pleased to note the increased performance and
the commitment in the report into identifying barriers and reducing delays in
relation to Delayed Transfers of Care and looked forward to receiving further
information at a future meeting. The Committee asked for further information in relation to
Social Value Forums and noted that there is a requirement in the Code of
Practice to focus on alternative models of delivery and that the roles were
currently in the process of being mapped. The Committee discussed the impact of Brexit on the
workforce and were informed that work is being completed centrally by HR on
this issue. It
was noted that while there is no single point of access for children and young
people to receive universal or specialist Mental Health Support in Western Bay
there is a single point of contact in Neath Port Talbot’s children and young
people services. Following scrutiny, Members were generally supportive of
the proposals to be considered at Cabinet Board but recommended that the Area
Plan and Action Plan should be proof read grammatically before submission. 5.2 Learning Disability Services Strategic Delivery Plan 2018 –
2019. Members received information in relation to
the Learning Disability
Services Strategic Delivery Plan 2018 – 2019 as contained within the circulated
report. The Committee asked for information in relation to the
ongoing monitoring of progress and requested that quarterly performance
monitoring information be brought back to this Committee. The Local Area Co-ordinators (LAC) were discussed and
Members were pleased to note the plans to roll out the service across all areas
of the County Borough. Members asked if the seemingly low respite figures referred
to in the report could be checked for accuracy. Following scrutiny, the Committee were supportive of the
proposals to be considered at Cabinet Board. 5.3 Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board (ABMU) Carers Partnership Annual Report 2016-17 and Carer’s ... view the full minutes text for item 5. |
