To consider a report of the Care Dorset Board.

The Managing Director for Care Dorset presented the report, which provided Committee Members with an overview of the work that had been undertaken, setting out some the key challenges that had been overcome since the previous meeting. The Board were confident that, going forward, there would be positive outcomes for both Care Dorset and, more importantly, its service users, as could already be evidenced in a number of cases.

Dorset Council officers confirmed that Care Dorset was proving to be an ongoing success and expressed optimism for its future and the positive outcomes that it would deliver for its service users. The Director of Legal and Democratic Services highlighted that he was in the process of resolving reserved matters relating to the shareholder’s agreement with Care Dorset and would amend the Council’s constitution once these matters had been agreed.

Following the presentation, the Chairman expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Committee towards the Managing Director for all that had been achieved in a short space of time and requested that the communications teams of both Dorset Council and Care Dorset ensured that public messaging was aligned.
