The Director of Adults & Health approved the primary business requirements of a Care Quality Team in order to deliver proactive, targeted, strength-based support to older people's care homes in Leeds. The overriding purpose of the team will be to improve quality of care, as measured against defined success criteria, such as the percentage of CQC Good rated care homes.
The Director of Adults and Health approved the proposed staffing model for a Care Quality Team within the agreed budget of a recurrent spend of £300,000 per annum.
The Director of Adults and Health approved the recurrent spend of the remainder of the recurrent £300,000 pa budget to support the development of other elements of the wider One City project, for example as identified within the quality improvement action plan.
That implementation will be by the Head of Commissioning (Contracts and Business Development), and Service Transformation, with support from other teams as appropriate, from mid-November 2017.
