Adults & Communities Overview & Scrutiny Committee

The committee reviewed updates on how the council has responded to recommendations it accepted earlier, and on progress against adopted action plans. Members were satisfied with progress on both and agreed to stop checking these items every year. They also noted a request for a Members' seminar on the Integrated Reablement service, which helps people regain daily living skills, to be held once the service has run for 12 months.
