Issue - meetings

A report was submitted which sought approval to re-profile the hosted Adult Social Care service, Personal Budget Support Service (PBSS) disaggregation timeline from 30 September 2021 to 31 March 2023. This was to enable sufficient time to disaggregate the service in a safe and legal manner whilst ensuring there was minimum disruption to the service and customers, as well as focusing resource on statutory, high risk and high priority Adult Social Care services such as the Deprivation of Liberties Safeguards (DoLS) service.

In discussion, members endorsed the recommendations, stating that the service was life-altering for people who used the service.

RESOLVED that the Personal Budget Support Service disaggregation timeline be re-profiled into 2022/23.

Reasons -

·      To ensure a safe and legal disaggregation of the services specifically in relation tothe data held on the shared IT systems, ensuring data governance compliance

·      System requirements and dependencies across other functions e.g. finance and the ability to take payments

·      To focus and prioritise the disaggregation of statutory and high-risk services areas within Adult Social Care e.g. Deprivation of Liberties Safeguards (DoLS.)

·      To enable transformational exploration of undertaking detailed options appraisals that explore whether the service can be delivered more efficiently with the aim to mitigate increased spend by disaggregating and requiring duplication.
