 Report by James Cawley, Associate Director - Adult Care Commissioning, Safeguarding and Housing

 Councillor Keith Humphries presented a report which sought Cabinet approval of a draft personalisation policy for the purpose of consultation.

The policy related to the provision of personalised budgets as referred to in the Care Bill (minute no. 45 above refers). The policy would cover all adults over the age of 18, and would need to ensure that everyone in Wiltshire was treated in the same way, with the principles being fairness, transparency and maximising customers’ control of their care and support.

The policy would be brought back to Cabinet following public consultation to enable Cabinet to give further consideration to the policy in light of comments received..

Resolved:

That Cabinet agree the draft personalisation policy setting out how the value of a personal budget would be calculated and to carry out consultation.

Reason for decision:

The Council does not currently have a personalisation policy and is required to consult on new policies and changes to related policies.
