Minutes:
Councillor Best asked if there would be a greater financial pressure on the
adult care budget if there were greater numbers transitioning to adults
following any service expansion. The Executive Director for Children & Young
People’s representative said he believed children leaving Drumbeat would be
the most likely to be independent and therefore the pressure on Adult Social
Care would be quite small but that he would investigate further and provide
information directly to the Deputy Mayor.
