Issue - meetings

Mark Tyson, Group Manager, Integration and Commissioning, LBBD, presented the report and explained that currently there were four extra care schemes run by LBBD and four contracted out to Triangle and that it was now necessary to address how this fitted into the whole provision, especially with the emphasis of personalisation of services.  LBBD would use the next 12 months to review older people’s accommodation across the Borough, including the extra care housing provision, in order that recommendations could be made about the future size and type of extra care provision that would be needed to cater of the older population.  It would be inopportune to enter into a contract until this review was completed, accordingly the extension and variation of the current contract was being recommended.

The Board:
 

(i)  Approved the extension and the variation of the contract for the provision of extra care accommodation services with Triangle Care, in accordance with the strategy set out in the report.

(ii)  Delegated authority to the Strategic Director for Service Development and Integration, in consultation with the Strategic Director, Finance & Investment and the Head of Legal and Democratic Services, to extend and vary the contract and execute related documentation.
