Adult Social Care proposals regarding the future of the community meals provision

The Executive is asked to consider proposals to modernise the Council's approach to community meals provision. This would involve officers working closely with people (and their families/carers) to make more individually tailored meal arrangements as part of the support planning process using personal budgets as appropriate. The Council would continue to provide assistance to people in arranging meals support but not in future act as a commissioner or provider of the service.

The Executive is asked to approve further work to examine the proposal as outlined; initially this would be the completion of an equality impact assessment informed by a full consultation with key stakeholders.
