Care & Independence Overview and Scrutiny Committee - Wednesday, 19th June, 2024 10.00 am
June 19, 2024 View on council websiteSummary
The Care and Independence and Housing Overview and Scrutiny Committee of East Riding of Yorkshire Council met on Wednesday 19 June 2024 to discuss several key issues, including the Adult Social Care Market Transformation, the council's housing strategy, and the upcoming work programme for 2024-2025. Decisions were made to support the transformation of the adult social care market and to approve the housing strategy.
Adult Social Care Market Transformation
The committee discussed the Adult Social Care (ASC) Market Transformation Presentation, which outlined the need for significant changes to the way adult social care services are delivered in the region. The presentation highlighted the increasing demand for services, the financial pressures facing the council, and the need for more sustainable and innovative care solutions.
Councillors debated the merits of various proposed changes, including the introduction of more community-based care options and the use of technology to improve service delivery. One councillor noted,
We must ensure that our transformation efforts focus on both improving the quality of care and making the best use of our limited resources.
The committee decided to support the transformation plan, emphasising the importance of stakeholder engagement and the need to monitor the impact of changes closely.
Housing Strategy
The council's housing strategy was another major topic of discussion. The strategy aims to address the shortage of affordable housing in the East Riding of Yorkshire and to improve the quality of existing housing stock. The committee reviewed the key objectives of the strategy, which include increasing the supply of affordable homes, supporting vulnerable residents, and promoting sustainable development.
Several councillors expressed concerns about the feasibility of the strategy's targets, given the current economic climate. However, the majority supported the strategy, recognising the urgent need to address housing issues in the region. The committee approved the housing strategy, with a commitment to review progress regularly and make adjustments as necessary.
Work Programme 2024-2025
The committee also reviewed the Work Programme for 2024-2025, which outlines the key areas of focus for the upcoming year. The programme includes a range of initiatives aimed at improving care and housing services, such as the development of new care models, the implementation of the housing strategy, and the evaluation of existing services.
Councillors discussed the importance of setting realistic goals and ensuring that the work programme aligns with the council's broader strategic objectives. The committee approved the work programme, with a request for regular updates on progress and any challenges encountered.
