Minutes:
26.1 This item was introduced by Denise D’Souza, Director of Community Care and by Tamsin Peart, Performance and Development Officer.
26.2 Members were told that the Carers’ Strategy had been developed after conversations with a large number of representative organisations. The Carers’ Survey, to which more than 400 people had responded, had also been used to inform the strategy.
26.3 Members were informed that money for carers is not ‘ring-fenced’. However, NHS Brighton & Hove currently funds carers’ services at a higher level than is suggested by Government guidance. Details about future NHS funding of these services will be included in the update of NHS Brighton & Hove’s Strategic Commissioning Plan.
26.4 RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
