Decision:

That the Adult Social Care Local Account for 2016–2017 be approved for publication.

Minutes:

Councillor Sandra Samuels OBE presented the Adult Social Care Local Account for 2016 – 2017 for approval. It was considered good practice for councils to produce and publish an annual Local Account as they enabled councils to self-assess their performance, gather feedback on how they have done from people who have used services and set priorities for improvement. They were also seen as a way of demonstrating openness and transparency to citizens. The Local Account illustrated the challenges faced in the current financial climate and the successes that the Council had achieved despite this, and was also used as a way to involve local people with care and support needs in decisions about the priorities for the coming year.

 

Resolved:

 

That the Adult Social Care Local Account for 2016–2017 be approved for publication.
