Update by Locality Manager, Health and Social Care Partnership

The Committee gave consideration to a verbal update from the Locality Manager, who provided information in relation to the future of Auchinlee Care Home in Campbeltown. Mr Dreghorn advised that agreement has been reached to develop a partnership agreement to cover the next 12 months which would allow arrangements to be made for the existing residents.  An assurance has been given that existing residents should not be required to leave the area. This will be facilitated by prioritising vacancies in the Kintrye Care Centre and also by looking to develop provision at Lorn Campbell Court.

It was noted that the issues of residential care in the Kintyre area would be discussed at the forthcoming Care Summit in Oban.

Decision:

Members agreed:-

1.    to note the contents of the verbal update; and

2.    requested that a report be brought to a future meeting of the Area Committee outlining progress made.
