That the Torbay Council Adult Social Care Preparation for Assurance Peer Challenge action plan be approved as set out in Appendix 2 to the submitted report.

The progression of the action plan would assist in improving the adult social care related experiences of Torbay Residents.

Not to accept the LGA Peer Challenge on Adult Social Care Preparation for Assurance and resulting action plan – this was not recommended as implementation of the action plan would enable the Adult Social Care and the Council to continue to improve.  Alternative or additional actions could have been proposed.

This decision will come into force and may be implemented on 31 March 2025 unless the call-in procedure is triggered (as set out in the Standing Orders in relation to Overview and Scrutiny).

In June 2024 Torbay Council invited the Local Government Association to undertake a Peer Challenge on Adult Social Care Preparation for Assurance.  Following receipt of the feedback report an action plan was developed.

At the meeting Councillor Tranter proposed and Councillor Bye seconded a motion that was agreed unanimously by the Cabinet, as set out above.

None.
