Admin Admin In response to a concern about the annual health checks Debbie Rees advised that where they know that there are problems these are addressed directly. Further that they are meeting more with GP’s on a regular basis to improve the quality of services. The self advocates proposed that a green and red card system is introduced to assist with communications. Green means everything is OK, red means the person is talking too fast or using language that is not understood and it needs to be repeated in a more understandable way. Co-chairs The Co-Chairs agreed to compile a letter to address the issues regarding buses issue. One of the main concerns is that people do not know when the buses are stopping because of poor communication. It was suggested that the Chief Executive of First Buses should be invited to attend a meeting and that a question should be asked about how they collect the views of vulnerable people to feed into the Comprehensive Impact Assessment. LN It was suggested that if there are less buses it may encourage people to have more events local to where they live. DWP Assessment - One service advocate (JHe) advised that with support she had sent a letter expressing her views regarding the assessments to Dan Rogerson and that she had received a reply which had asked for more information. TW to get DWP contacts from Terry Stanton. Concerned that the consultation that took place did not take into consideration the view of people with Learning Disabilities. Page 2 of 4 TW 4.

Any Other Business Waterloo House In response to a question regarding the closure of Waterloo House, Liz Nichols advised that the Commissioning Team had been working with the Service Provider on the closure because there is no ongoing demand for the service because of the location and because the building is old and many people who might need a residential care service may also be wheel chair users and the property is not suitable for this. Also some of the people living there wanted to move to other housing services. Because of these reasons a decision was made to close the service. Closures of St Christophers and Lowenna Red Wing A self advocate asked why St Christophers and Lowenna Red Wing were not going to be funded. Liz Nichols explained that these were decisions that we made by Children’s Services but she would ask for an explanation.
