Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Jones introduced the Social Services Annual Report which set out the improvement journey and evaluated Social Services’ performance in providing services to people that promoted their wellbeing and supported them to achieve their personal outcomes.

            The report would form an integral part of the Care Inspectorate Wales’ (CIW) performance evaluation of Flintshire Social Services and would also inform the Wales Audit Office’s (WAO) assessment of Flintshire County Council as part of the annual improvement report.

            Social and Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee had been given prior opportunity to provide comments and feedback on the draft report which had shaped the key messages and priorities contained within the final draft.

            The draft annual report outlined the improvement priorities identified for 2018/19 which were detailed in the report.

            The Chief Officer (Social Services) said the work that had been undertaken with the care sector and stakeholders had been fundamental and provided information on a joint website, Care@Flintshire, which supported providers in recruitment and retention, training, advertising events, sharing good practice and networking with each other.

            Councillor Jones thanked all of the staff in Social Services and to the leadership for supporting their capital programmes.

RESOLVED:

That the Annual Report be received.
