Report of the Executive Director - Adult Social Care, Health and Wellbeing (Place Director)

Consideration was given to a report which provided an overview of Adult Social Care’s performance against a number of required national and local metrics. The report was part of the regular cycle of reporting to the Committee and key information in terms of the preparation for Sefton’s upcoming Care Quality Commission (CQC) assessment.

Members of the Committee asked questions/commented on the following issues:

• It was noted that the reablement and quality of life figures were good, putting Sefton in the top quartile in England.
• The “Better at Home” programme and the work to reduce admissions in to care.
• Safeguarding data and the need to monitor under-reporting and ensure the quality team look at care homes which had not been inspected recently.
• Information about National Safeguarding Week between 18^th-22^nd November.

RESOLVED:

(1)  That the contents of the report be noted;

(2)  That it be agreed that regular updates continue to be provided to the Committee regarding the performance of Adult Social Care.

(3)  That an informal session on safeguarding data be arranged.
