To receive an update report from the Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care and Health. (to follow)

The Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care, Health and Housing presented an information report on Key Cabinet Commitment 7, the Integrated Care System. The commitment sought to ensure that the Council got a better deal out of its partnerships arrangements through the Integrated Care System.

The Portfolio Holder also indicated that there were a number of PowerPoints slides attached to the report for councillors to read in more detail.

In response to questions, the Portfolio Holder advised that due to the steps being put into place, including appropriate care home or at home care, there was no need for Dorset to discharge people from hospital into local hotels.

In respect to further questions, the Portfolio Holder confirmed that as part of the wider strategy, communication and optimisation were continually being addressed.

Cabinet noted the information set out in the report and PowerPoint slides attached to the agenda.
