The
performance updates and focused delivery plan gives a structured
approach to the promotion of independent living as well as how the
service is addressing waiting lists and impact of the pandemic. It
will also provide greater accountability and transparency of how we
will do this.

 

Asking for regular updates and refreshes of the plan will keep the
Committee, wider stakeholders, and the public the ability to hold
the Council to account for progress and provide an additional
mechanism to input to future development.
 
Alternatives Considered and
Rejected

 
The
alternative options considered were: Don’t complete a
delivery plan for equipment and adaptations performance and
financial recovery. This would not provide the assurances required
to ensure that we are striving towards a high performing and
financially sustainable service.
 
CARERS STRATEGY ANNUAL
REPORT

 
The
Committee considered a report of the Strategic Director for Adult
Care and Wellbeing which provided an update to the Adult Health and
Social Care Committee on progress of our multi-agency Carers
Delivery Plan (2022-2025).

 
RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Adult Health and Social Care Policy Committee:

 
1.
Recognise the positive progress made on delivery of the Carers
Delivery Plan (2022-2025).
2.
Reaffirm our commitment to people who are unpaid carers across the
city, so they feel recognised, valued, and supported and request
that the Strategic Director brings a report to Committee setting
out how we will become a Carer Friendly City. 3. Acknowledge the
future actions the Delivery Plan aim to deliver.
4.
Request that the Strategic Director Adult Care and Wellbeing brings
back updates every 6 months as an assurance on delivery of the
plan.

 
Reasons for Decision
 
We
want to be bold and ambitious and make Sheffield a carer friendly
city. We recognise, value and support
our carers and the vital role they have in our communities. We know
from the first 12 months that the Carers Delivery Plan has
positively impacted the lives of carers but there is still much
more to do.
 

Carers are vital to our health and social care systems. They
provide care to some of the most vulnerable in our communities and
in doing so save the economy billions of pounds per year, however
being a carer can lead to social, educational and health
inequalities. It is therefore essential that we recognise, value
and support those in a caring role and prevent inappropriate
caring, especially with young carers; our Carers Delivery Plan
empowers us do this.

 
Alternatives Considered and
Rejected

 

Option – Not to update to the Delivery Plan –
Rejected.

 
Now
is the right time to reaffirm our commitment to carers. The Council
and its partners want to continue to make Sheffield a carer
friendly city.

1.   
Notes progress in delivering upon the Adult Care Strategy Living
