COMMUNITIES DEPARTMENTAL BUSINESS PLAN 2017-20 PDF 129 KB Additional documents: Minutes: [NOTE: Councillor K. Madge had earlier declared an interest in this item.]
The Committee considered a report providing an update on progress made against departmental priorities in respect of the social care and health elements contained within the Communities Departmental Business Plan 2017-20.
The following issues/observations were raised on the report:-
· Reference was made to the difficulties faced by staff as the budget continues to decrease while demand continues to increase and officers were thanked and congratulated for all the work they do for the people of Carmarthenshire; · Asked what are the biggest challenges faced by the department in relation to social care and health. The Head of Housing & Public Protection stated that one of the challenges is the demand and the changes in demand, however, one of the greatest challenges is the workforce. He referred to the fact that in England 900 paid carers leave the care sector every day and it was therefore essential to ensure that we have a trained and experienced workforce in place in order to be able to redeploy. He stressed the importance of making sure that caring is regarded as a valued and worthwhile profession; · Reference was made to the number of awards won by the Authority’s social care staff at the British Association of Social Work Cymru Awards in October and the staff were congratulated on their achievements and thanked for their dedication and commitment.
RESOLVED that that the Communities Departmental Business Plan 2017-20 be received.
