Councillor Jones introduced the report and explained that it described the role of the Responsible Individual, the requirements of the role and how in house regulated services had performed over the last 12 months.
The Responsible Individual was a statutory requirement for all organisations in Wales who delivered care services. As well as the Responsible Individual visiting all services a minimum of four times per year, must collate evidence to measure services against the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act (2016).
The services covered were detailed in the report.
The methodology for collecting evidence included, file audits, health and safety visits, record keeping, safeguarding, team meetings and consultation with service users and families. It also used inspections from Care Inspectorate Wales.
In summary the Responsible Individual reported a high level of confidence in all
areas of the service. The standard of care was high throughout and staff were trained
to a high standard. There are a number of areas that did need to be considered as
in relation to risks for the provider services as outlined in the report.
The report had been submitted to Social and Health Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee where Members requested that rota visits should recommence.
RESOLVED:
