Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

The Cabinet Member for Social Services introduced the Dementia Commissioning Strategy and summary documents which descried the vision for long term care services for people living with dementia in Flintshire over the next five years.

The focus of the document was primarily residential care services but it recognised that much work was needed to improve the quality of life for people living with dementia in all settings.

The strategy document described an overall direction of travel for those services and it was acknowledged it would be subject to review on an ongoing basis.

The Director of Community Services advised of four amendments to the figures outlined in 2.3.1 of the appendix to the report which were:

a.      To read 28%, not 27%

b.      To read 28%, not 27%

c.      To read 44%, not 42%

d.      To read 72%, not 68%

Members welcomed the report, commenting in particular on the success of the 15 apartments for people with dementia to live independently at Llys Jasmine Extra Care in Mold.

RESOLVED:

That the Dementia Commissioning Strategy be approved.
