Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

 

That cabinet approves the Market Position Statement 2020-2025 which informs the care and support market on where the future demands on services will be so they can adapt their business models to respond and reflect the needs of the county's population.

Decision:

 

That:

(a)       cabinet approves the attached draft Market Position Statement 2020-25 in appendix a; and

(b)       that cabinet approves the response to the scrutiny recommendation in appendix b

 

Alternative options considered:

 

1.    Not to have a Market Position Statement (MPS) for Herefordshire; this is not recommended. Whilst a MPS is not a statutory duty of the council it is deemed as good practice and evidence that the council is supporting and developing a market that delivers a wide-range of sustainable high-quality care and support services that will be available for our communities as enacted in the Care Act 2014.

 

Reason Key: Strategic nature / impact on communities;
