To consider the report.

The Chair of the Independent Board of Directors introduced the report which provided a company update.

Officers responded to Members’ comments and requests for clarification, details included:

• Care Dorset managed significant risk given the nature of its regulated activity and the vulnerable nature of the individuals it supported. That said, the Interim Managing Director offered the assurance that there had been a 50% reduction of ‘red’ ratings, which had now moved to ‘amber’. There was an expectation that the overall risks would move to ‘amber’ before moving to green as time progressed.
• When translating the figure for ‘bed days’, this equated to estimated cost savings of approximately £1.7M to the Council and its health partners.
