Issue - meetings

Purpose: To receive a verbal report from Members of the Committee.

That the updates be received.

Councillor David Healey reported on his visit to North East Wales Community Equipment Services (NEWCES).  He explained that the visit had been a rewarding experience and he recommended that other Members would also find a visit helpful.  He commented on the valuable work undertaken to provide equipment to people with a disability and asked if the service could be expanded outside the community, citing the loan of beds to hospitals as an example.  The   Senior Manager Integrated Services, Lead Adults, explained that whilst the Service supported bed management its purpose and priority was to provide equipment to those with need in the community.

Councillor Veronica Gay provided positive feedback on her visit to Croes Atti Day Care Centre.  She said some concern had been expressed during her visit around a drop in the number of referrals being made to the Centre.  In her response the Senior Manager Integrated Services, Lead Adults, explained that the requirement for traditional day care services had declined due to an increased demand for more community/activity based care provision.

RESOLVED:

That the updates be received.
