To submit the report of the Cabinet Member for Adult Services.

1.    To approve the Gwynedd Adults Population Needs Assessment.

2.    To adopt the recommendations in the report in order to incorporate them in the Council Plan.

The Cabinet Member for Adults, Health and Well-being submitted the report inviting the Council to approve the Gwynedd Adults Population Needs Assessment and adopt the recommendations in the report to be incorporated in the Council Plan.

The Cabinet Member thanked the Commissioning, Contracts and Projects Manager and the Team for their substantial work in preparing the document.

The Chair of the Care Scrutiny Committee for 2022/23, Councillor Eryl Jones-Williams, noted that he wished to personally thank the Cabinet Member for his work during the past year.  He noted, as a result of closing the inpatient ward at Tywyn Hospital, that the Gwynedd Older People Department had found a place for nearly all the patients locally at care homes in Tywyn, instead of them having to go to Dolgellau Hospital, and he thanked the Cabinet Member and the staff for their hard work.

The Cabinet Member gave thanks for the support, noting at the same time that it was the Department's staff who needed to be thanked for the work.

RESOLVED

1.         To approve the Gwynedd Adults Population Needs Assessment.

2.         To adopt the recommendations in the report in order to incorporate them in the Council Plan.
