Decision details

To seek approval of the Supporting People Strategy 2011-16 after redrafting taking into account comments made at the Supporting People Commissioning Body meeting held on 25 March 2011.

Councillor Louise Chapman recognised that officers had worked hard to condense the Strategy but felt that it was still too long. She was happy to approve it but the format did need to be revisited for the next Strategy. The Chairman, Councillor Debbie Pickford agreed and in particular highlighted that the use of the word ‘partnership’ throughout was ill defined.

Natalia Lachkou emphasised that the Strategy itself was only 5 pages long and could be read as a stand alone document.

The Commissioning Body RESOLVED:-  to approve the Supporting People Strategy 2011-16.
