This report advises members on the Annual Performance Assessment (APA) judgement for Adult Social Care for 2009/10, published by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). 

That the overall annual performance assessment and in particular the strengths and areas for further improvement identified in the performance assessment report be noted.

The report from the Director of Housing and Community Care advised members on the Annual Performance Assessment (APA) judgement for Adult Social Care for 2009/10, published by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Councillor R Moher (Lead Member, Adults, Health and Social Care) drew attention to the CQC’s judgement that the council was making progress in all areas. She confirmed that work was under way in those areas identified as requiring further improvement and that this would continue. Councillor Moher referred to proposed changes to the system of performance regulation and management, which meant that was the last year of the current system and the last report in this form.  The changes would mean significantly more responsibility for local authorities.

RESOLVED:

that the overall annual performance assessment and in particular the strengths and areas for further improvement identified in the performance assessment report be noted.
