Decision details

Bury Council’s Adult Social Care department has committed to a significant programme of transformation and improvement. With an ambitious strategic plan, Adult Social Care continues to deliver the Council’s statutory duties relating to the delivery of social care to people aged over 18. Adult Social Care has a strong track record in achieving savings supporting Bury’s Council’s continued financial viability whilst managing increasing demand on its services due to an ageing population, the cost-of-living crisis and increasing complexity in need. The department is also preparing for imminent regulatory inspection by the Care Quality Commission and is embedding redesigned governance arrangements to ensure greater assurance, accountability, and efficiency
