  2. What we will be talking about. • Update on the Council’s budget for 2014 – 2015 • Update on Adult Social Care Proposals (ideas for saving money) • Table discussions to find out what you think about the ideas.

  3. The Council’s money is getting less and less

  4. Across the council we have enough ideas for next year’s budget • We have a longer term plan so that we make the right decisions for the right reasons • In many areas we have made plans for 2-3 years • The size of the challenge means we have had to find savings from areas which we have protected in the past, such as Adult Social Care • We have begun talking to people on some ideas – for others this will start shortly

  5. What people have been telling us so far at the ‘Have Your Say’ events Autumn 2013 Most Important Things: • Giving flexible, person centred support to those that need it most. No standard services. • Work with people to make sure they don’t get into a crisis (prevention) • Make joined up working happen. Don’t pass people to other departments. Joined

  6. What people have been telling us so far (continued) Ideas for Change: • Less paperwork and red tape in Adult Social Care, Health, Housing and Voluntary Sector • Make sure information is accessible and easy to find. • Work together with partners to make long term plans for people and organisations.

  7. Doing things differently in Adult Social Care Information, advice and signposting Building community Closer working with health services Helping people stay independent Supporting carers Supporting those that need it most Won’t pay for support that is paid for from somewhere else Choice and control but also value for money Direct Payments to people who can manage it.

  8. IdeasAdult Social Care Carers are Important: • When the assessment and support planning takes place it is important to us to look at how the carer helps someone. • We will also look at how family, friends and the community can help someone with their eligible needs. • Carers need to be offered a Carers Assessment

  9. IdeasAdult Social Care • Make sure assessments are fair and the same across social care. • Only pay for services that meet eligible needs. • Make sure that needs are met in a way that is good value for money

  10. IdeasAdult Social Care • Making sure reviews are done once a year • Supporting people to claim benefits which they are eligible for. • Make sure we check if people can afford to pay towards their care costs do

  11. IdeasReducing Costs • Not using expensive support providers as much • Look at money coming from Continuing Health Care (CHC) • Changing senior managers of services

  12. IdeasReducing Costs • Changing some support providers to get better value for money • Changing how services are made up and managed • Looking at money for training and making sure we are using it properly

  13. IdeasReducing Costs Adult Provider Services • Making the Management and Business Support teams smaller across Adult Provider Services. • More flexible staffing contracts. Better rotas and sickness management for in-house providers

  14. IdeasReducing Costs Adult Provider Services • Making sure in-house provider services meet demand for services. This will mean making the services smaller • Make sure services meet people’s needs and give good value for money • Make the Adult Placement Shared Lives Service bigger
