Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To approve savings that will contribute to the Council’s Spending Review Programme 4, which requires Adult Social Care to deliver savings for 2019/20
Decision:
To cease the funding for the Independent Living Floating Support service with effect from 31 October 2018, on the basis as outlined in the report.
Reasons for the decision:
To deliver savings of £545,000, which will contribute towards the ASC Spending Review Programme 4, required savings target of £5.5m.for 2019/20. This is a non-statutory service and the report was considered by the Adult Social Care Scrutiny Commission on 19 June and supported the proposal.

2. Negotiate reducing the level of funding with the existing provider.
3. Procure a new contract at a reduced funding level.
None of these options would deliver the required level of savings
