To receive a verbal update from the Sefton Place Director, NHS Cheshire and Merseyside.

Minutes:

The Committee received a verbal update by the Sefton Place Director, that provided an update on the preparations for Care Quality Commission (CQC) Assessment.

 

The update contained the following information:

 

·       The first assessment interview was due to take place in the next few days regarding areas of focus.

·       The assessment would take place week commencing 27th January 2025.

·       The outcome letter was expected later in the year.

·       The priority is making sure the date being presented to the CQC assessors is accurate.

 

A Member of the Committee queried to what extent the CQC assessors take in to account the Adult Social Care budget position. It was confirmed that issues such as commissioning, market sustainability and workforce would be considered rather than the overall budget position.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the update be noted.
