To submit a report by the Director of Community.

It was resolved to agree in principle to the development of extra care in Amlwch and Llangefni, and in conjunction with this and as part of developing appropriate future provision, that the existing residential care homes in those locations (Brwynog and Plas Penlan) are de-commissioned and officers undertake the work necessary to achieve this.

The report of the Strategic Transformation Programme Project Manager for Adult Social Care incorporating a business case and rationale for the development of extra care provision in Amlwch and Llangefni was presented for the Executive’s consideration.

Councillor W.T. Hughes presented his views as a Local Member. Councillor R. Meirion Jones spoke on behalf of Local Member, Councillor Nicola Roberts and sought reassurance that the existing Plas Penlan residential care home would not be decommissioned until the new extra care model for the Llangefni area is in place. The Leader and Portfolio Member for Social Services affirmed that that would be the case in both areas.

The Head of Adults’ Service confirmed that he would make arrangements for the staff of the current residential homes in the two areas to visit the extra care facility in Llanrwst previously visited by some Members of the Council.
