To note the submitted report on the above.

Members noted a report that provided an update on the work being undertaken by Torbay Council’s Joint Commissioning Team and partners to support and improve the quality of care provided to residents of care homes in Torbay.

It was noted that officers, with assistance from the Torbay Culture Board would work with residents, relatives, care home providers and staff and ICO staff and elected members to come up with a care homes charter setting out shared expectations of what good care should look like.  The Policy Development and Decision Group would be kept informed on the progress of this work.
