To consider a report of the Health & Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee

The Review sought to understand what support was available for carers of people suffering from dementia and whether or not more could be done to help them in keeping their loved one independent and living well at home, including what more could be done to ensure the carer’s own health and wellbeing was looked after.

The Executive is invited to receive the final report and request that the Corporate Director for People prepare a response to the recommendations, in conjunction with health partners as appropriate.
