RESOLVED:

That the Adult Social Care Local Account for 2015 – 2016 be noted.

The Portfolio Holder for Adults presented a report of the Director of Adult Services setting out the Shropshire Council Adult Social Care Local Account 2015/2016. He explained the value of the document, production of which was not a statutory requirement but best practice.   He paid tribute to members of the Making It Real Board who had taken editorial lead of the document and reported that it was to be considered by the Health and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee.  He explained that the recommendation should read that Cabinet Members are requested to note the Account, rather than note and approve and this amendment was accepted. 

The Portfolio Holder for Health felt the Account was both informative and accessible and should be made available to the Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group Board with a request that it be forwarded to the Local Area Forum for GPs.  The Portfolio Holder for Rural Services and Communities also commended the logical and clear Shropshire Choices website and made some suggestions for promoting the site such as advertising in parish magazines. 

RESOLVED:

That the Adult Social Care Local Account for 2015 – 2016 be noted.
