Eight Homes go out to tender

Care homes
The eight homes, mainly for short term stay provide a service that gets people better and home, thus saving money on long term care. The Conservative Executive agreed a business plan for the service to go out to tender. The Independents, together with others, called in the business plan and presented the case for keeping the homes and commissioning in a more cost-effective way. All the Conservatives voted together to put the service out to tender and everyone else voted against it. Closing the homes is false economy as the homes reduce and prevent long term care.
