The Committee received a report providing an update on the progress of the Hospital to Home Support Service (HtHSS).

The following matters were considered:

b)            Future continuance of service. Following a question regarding the number of referrals required for the service to continue, Officers informed the Committee that the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) would decide whether to continue funding HtHSS. The current funding agreement would end on 30 March 2020. The CCG’s decision would dictate whether the service could continue.

Following consideration, it was resolved:
