Minutes:
In response to the issue of the Internal Audit Report, the Committee considered a report of the Head of Commissioning providing an update on Social Care and Direct Payments (for copy see file of Minutes).
The Head of Commissioning and the Personalisation Development Manager of Children and Adult Services gave assurances that following suggestions by Audit a number of improvements had been made and a delegated decision process was now in place and timescales for carrying out audits were reducing.
Following a suggestion from Ms Larkin-Bramley it was agreed that as this was a high risk area a follow up audit would be carried in 6 months time.
Resolved:-
(i) That the recommendations contained within the report be approved.
(ii) That a follow up audit be carried out in 6 months.
