Report of the Executive Director, People

Cabinet Member received a report of the Executive Director, People, which presented the Market Position Statement for Adult Social Care.  The document had been produced following engagement with provider groups as an analytical statement which set out to present a current picture of the Adult Social Care market and how this might need to change to meet the demands on the Council and the expectations of residents.

Coventry City Council was striving to develop a diverse vibrant and high quality social care market to meet the needs and aspirations of the people of Coventry who required social care support now and in the future.  Communicating effectively with the market was a key part of market development. Market Position Statements (MPS) were a tool for providing communication and their production was a requirement of the newly formed Care Bill.

The MPS would be updated annually so that the document remained relevant and kept pace with changes within Adult Social Care in Coventry.

RESOLVED that after due consideration of the report and matters raised at the meeting, the Cabinet Member approved the Market Position Statement for Coventry.

There were no additional items of public business.
