Decision - Learning Disability Accommodation Service

1)        That the Committee agrees to a three month consultation with all service users, including their carers and advocates as appropriate, who currently live in the Council’s directly provided supported housing and residential care services. The purpose of the consultation will be to look at what alternative options there are to re-provide the care and support so that it meets service users individual needs, provides value for money, and delivers financial efficiencies over the next four years. The options are:

i)          That people are supported to move to alternative accommodation that meets their needs and can be provided in a more cost effective way.

ii)        That people are supported to receive a personal budget and alternative accommodation.

iii)       That people remain in their existing homes and receive their care and support from another provider.

2)        That at the end of the consultation period a report is brought back to this committee with recommendations about how the services could be re-provided to achieve the these aims.
