9.1       The Lead Member for Adult Social Care considered a report by the Director of Adult Social Care and Health regarding the next phase of the improvement strategy for Learning Disability Directly Provided Services. 

9.2       RESOLVED to note: -             (1)        the activity that will be undertaken as part of the next phase of the improvement strategy within Learning Disability Services;

 (2)         the consultation activity that will be undertaken with:

·        staff working within the Learning Disability Group Homes and Day Service Centres.

 (3)         that the results of the consultation will be brought back to the Lead Member to consider on 9 June 2016.

Reason

9.3       It has long been recognised that Southview Close, as a building, is not a suitable site for a learning disability day service. Hookstead offers a viable and sustainable alternative site; initial drawings also indicate that it could offer newly refurbished accommodation to 15 people with a learning disability.  Profiling of the Hastings and Rother area indicates that buildings can be rationalised, offering associated revenue savings.
