Transforming Adult Social Care - Have your say

Following my post last week about our ambitious plans to transform adult social care in Reading, Cabinet has agreed to go out to public consultation on the proposals. This consultation will last for 3 months ending on 27 February 2011.
The Council is keen to hear from as many residents as possible - including people who currently receive services and carers before making future decisions on adult social care.
Reading residents can take part in the consultation online at www.reading.gov.uk/adultsocialcareconsultation or call (0118) 937 3747 to requests copies of the consultation. Officers will also be consulting on the plans at the following meetings:-

• Physical Disability & Sensory Needs Network meeting, Civic Centre, 15th December 1.40pm-4pm
• Reading Resource Centre drop-in, Resource Centre, Oxford Road, 12th January 2pm-4pm
• Reading Carers Steering Group, Civic Centre, 26th January 2pm-4pm 
•  Reading Older People's Partnership open meeting, Greyfriars Church Hall, Friar Street, 1st February 10.30am-12.45pm
• Learning Disability Carers Forum, Civic Centre, 16th February 11am-1pm

I look forward to finding out what local people have to say on this important subject.
