Minutes:
The Committee received and noted the progress update on the recommendations made in the Overview and Scrutiny Review of Service Based Transport in Adult Social Care.
The Committee questioned whether the planned closures of day centre provision would impact the transport service in terms of staff redundancies. The Head of Provider Service (Older People/ Mental Health), Len Weir, stated that whilst it was very early, there were unlikely to be staff redundancies but drivers would have less time driving and more down time. There had recently been a reduction in use of the transport service which could be due to personalised budgets, where people were choosing alternative services.
RESOLVED to note the report.
