Strategy for People with Dementia and their Carers - JUN14/CAB/48

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Cabinet received a report which followed a referral from CMT on 10 June 2014.

 

The purpose of this report was to set out the Strategy for People with Dementia and the Carers and to request Cabinet approve the Strategy for adoption and implementation.

 

Cabinet considered the report and RESOLVED:

 

To approve the Strategy for People with Dementia and their Carers for adoption.

Reasons for the decision:

The adoption and implementation of the Strategy will clarify how Peterborough City Council will work with the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group to improve outcomes for people living with dementia and their carers through a strategic commissioning approach.

 

In turn this will support the development of a wider range of community support, improved support, more integrated approaches to support and to more effective management of the local market for dementia support.

 

Alternative options considered:

Not adopting the Strategy would mean that the Council’s approach with the Clinical Commissioning Group to improving support for people with dementia and to developing Peterborough as a Dementia Friendly City would not be clearly stated.  This would have a negative impact on service development and on effective market management.

 

Interests and Nature of Interests Declared:

None.
