Report by Director of Adult Social Care (CMDASC).

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to:

a)    approve the procurement and commitment of budget to purchase the new Short Stay Hub Bed (SSHB) model; and

b)    delegate to the Director of Adult Social Services authority to award call off contracts under the Light Touch Care Homes Framework further to procurement.

Recommendations approved.

The Chair said that everything the Council had already done to enable as many people as possible go home after they leave hospital was absolutely the right thing to do but that she recognised that some need additional support. She said that her understanding was that some locations would need beds more than others and that public transport links had been taken into consideration in delivery of that provision. She noted the extensive discussion which had taken place around this item and approved the recommendations in the report.

RESOLVED to:

a)    approve the procurement and commitment of budget to purchase the new Short Stay Hub Bed (SSHB) model; and

b)    delegate to the Director of Adult Social Services authority to award call off contracts under the Light Touch Care Homes Framework further to procurement.
