Issue - meetings

The Director of Social Services submitted a report which provided his account of the Council’s improvement journey to 2018-2019, and how well the Council was at meeting statutory requirements under the Social Services and Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014.

The report also looked back at the previous year’s areas for improvement, the challenges faced and sets new priorities for 2019-2020.  The report tells the story of changes that have taken place within Social Services to achieve progress towards national well-being outcomes.

Resolved that the Annual Report of the Director of Social Services 2018-2019 be received and noted.

Note: Councillor P M Black asked a question relating to the response that he received in relation to Councillor Question 10.  He stated that the response did not answer his question, instead it gave details of the Council's contract with the YMCA.  The YMCA are not contracted to carry out statutory assessments of young carers.  He asked that the Director of Social Services provide an amended answer addressing all the points in the original question?

The Director of Social Services stated that a written response would be provided.
