The Chairman introduced the report, which set out the draft Corporate Plan 2018/19 addendum and the relevant appendix for the Adults and Safeguarding Committee.

A Member referred to the indicator, SP1, “Percentage of the population taking part in sport and physical activity at least twice in the last month (as defined by Active Lives” and questioned the rationale behind the figure, twice a month.  The Strategic Director For Adults, Communities and Health, Ms. Dawn Wakeling, informed the Committee that this was a Sport England measure, and undertook to provide the Committee with further information on this data. 

Following the consideration of the report, the Chairman moved to the vote on the recommendation as set out in the report.  Votes were recorded as follows:

RESOLVED that the Committee review the draft Corporate Plan 2018/19 addendum, including the key activities and targets for the Adults and Safeguarding Committee, and recommend any changes prior to approval of the Corporate Plan 2018/19 addendum by Policy and Resources Committee on 13 February 2018.

The Chairman MOVED to the vote on Recommendation 1 and the substantive motion.  The Committee unanimously RESOLVED:

1.     That the Committee agree to extend the contract with the Sanctuary Group to residents of Goodwin Court, (extra care housing scheme), for the provision of care and support service from 1 June 2018 for the period of three years (with an optional extension of two years), in accordance with the conditions of the land transfer, capital funding agreement, and the Nominations Agreement.

The Chairman introduced the report, which provided detail on the progress of plans for the development of a Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub for Adults (MASH) in Barnet.

Responding to questions from the Committee Ms. Wakeling suggested that the Committee receive a further report at either their March 2018 or June 2018 meeting depending on if there was an update on NHS Funding by the March Committee date.  Ms. Wakeling suggested that if there was not an update by March, the Committee receive a report at their June 2018 meeting.  The Committee agreed to this. 

A Member commented that a briefing session to understand the interface with the MASH would be very helpful. 

Following the consideration of the report, the Chairman moved to the vote.  It was unanimously agreed that:

1.     That the Adults and Safeguarding Committee agrees to further development to establish an Adults MASH as set out within the report.

2.     That the Adults and Safeguarding Committee agrees that the Strategic Director for Adults, Communities and Health should continue to seek support and investment from partners including Barnet CCG, Central London Community Health NHS Trust and Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust in the development of the Adults MASH.

When considering the Forward Work Programme as set out in the report, the Chairman noted that other than the possible update on the establishment of a MASH for Adults, there was currently no business scheduled for the Committee’s next meeting, on 5 March 2018.

The Chairman noted that if a MASH report is available, or there are any other urgent items of business that need to be considered at the March meeting, then the meeting will go ahead.  If not, the Chairman suggested that the Committee could consider cancelling the meeting, but that he would only consider doing so if there were no urgent items of business scheduled.

RESOLVED that the Committee note the Forward Work Programme.

None.
