The Committee considered the West Wales Care Partnership’s Dementia Strategy. This regional strategy had been produced in partnership with Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire County Councils, the Health Board and third sector partners as well as people living with dementia, their carers and family members across West Wales.

 

The report supported several key objectives within the Corporate Plan and the Wellbeing Objective to support older people to age well and maintain dignity and independence in their later years.  Approval of the Strategy would enable services to be delivered in line with the needs of the community.

 

The report sought Carmarthenshire County Council’s approval of the strategy which was simultaneously going through the democratic process in Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. It had already been approved by the Health Board.

 

Amongst the questions/observations raised on the report were the following:-

·       The Head of Integrated Services confirmed that some elements of the strategy were already being delivered but there was a need to identify the services available and any gaps with a view to developing new, more seamless, initiatives;

·       The Head of Integrated Services, in response to a question, commented that the strategy would strive to ensure equitable access to services associated with dementia across the county

 

RESOLVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CABINET that the West Wales Care Partnership Dementia Strategy be approved.
