Other options considered – other options considered were ‘do nothing’ and deliver in-house

Councillor Turan introduced the report.

Councillor Hamdache asked if care home staff were required to take part in dementia training and Parkinson’s awareness training. In response, it was advised that these were key skills for those working in care homes and Islington procured from providers with a CQC rating of ‘Good’ or better.

RESOLVED:

(i)     That the procurement strategy for older people’s nursing home provision be approved as outlined in the report. 

(ii)    That authority to award the contract be delegated to the Director of Adult Social Care following consultation with the Executive Member for Health and Social Care.
