There are Calls for East Riding of Yorkshire Council to Expand its In-House Adult Social Care Provision
Should the local council in the East Riding of Yorkshire open more care homes?
That's the question some local councillors are asking after a review of current in-house services revealed them to be providing quality care at lower cost than the private sector.
Councillor David Boynton thinks the council should expand it's offering.
All of East Riding Council's in-house care homes are rated as good or outstanding and a recent report shows they are providing care at a lower cost to the council than using external providers.
The Portfolio holder for Health and Care - Councillor Jonathan Owen - thinks it the right idea but says there are costs.
Councillor Boyton accepts that there would be an initial set up cost for new provision but things it would produce savings in the longer term.
A report presented to the Health, Care and Wellbeing Sub-Committee highlighted the value of in-house services, particularly their cost-effectiveness compared to the private sector. The review found that council-run services were often the "provider of last resort" for individuals with complex needs, offering a vital safety net that would otherwise be unavailable or prohibitively expensive.
The sub-committee has requested a detailed report outlining options for expanding in-house provision of specialized adult social care services.
