Issue - meetings

The proportion of service users had just missed its target although the overall number of people receiving direct payments had still increased. The rate of permanent admission to nursing and residential homes remained within target.

There were low numbers of admission to homes overall meaning that people were able to be cared for at home or in the community for longer periods. Work was also in progress with the Hospitals Trust to discharge more people back to their homes rather than into care homes etc. All cases were reviewed annually but new cases were visited more frequently – usually around every six weeks.

The Sub-Committee noted the quarter 1 performance report.
