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.
