Report by Director of Adult Social Care and Health

Minutes:

22.1   The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Adult Social Care and Health regarding Direct Payments Support Service (DPSS) Provision.

 

DECISIONS

 

22.2  The Lead Member RESOLVED to:

 

1. approve a commissioning exercise for DPSS which will ensure the new service is in place by 1 April 2024; and

2. delegate authority to the Director of Adult Social Care and Health to take all necessary actions to give effect to the implementation of the above recommendation.

 

Reasons

 

22.3   DPSS offer vital provision to support eligible individuals with their management of their Direct Payments and in turn to meet their care and support needs. As such, it is important that future DPSS promote personalised care and self-directed support and the commission will enable the development of the future model.
