Who took part in the consultation |
Page 1 |
A general petition opposing the funding gap proposals for adult social care in the Lewes District was submitted by Lewes Liberal Democrats. It was signed by 100 people. This means it does not meet the threshold of 5000 signatures which is required for the petition to be considered by Full Council. |

Organisation comments |
Page 3 |
Healthwatch East Sussex: “There is some inconsistency between the proposals seeking to reduce the cost of home-to-school transport, whilst simultaneously transporting adults with learning disabilities from…Linden Court to alternative day services. Whilst it is important for people to have choices about their care and support, this should ideally be provided in the communities where they live.”

General comments |
1.5 |
The Board was concerned about the capacity of the independent and voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector to meet increases in demand as a result of proposals going ahead, and noted the fragility of the care market, particularly since the recent increases to national living wage and employer national insurance contributions. The Board discussed plans for local government reorganisation and commented that some savings proposals would have significant impacts on District and Borough Council services, which would become the responsibility of any new unitary authority. |
