Decision:

Approve the plans to invest the £1.5m Adult Social Care Winter Funding.

Alternative options considered:

An option to invest more of the resource on the anticipated considerable pressures in home care (projected £2.9m overspend) and direct placements (£2m overspend) was considered. The additional urgent investment in staffing to respond to the winter pressures and an early price increase for the domiciliary care providers was considered essential and requiring priority.
