The Adult Services Scrutiny Performance Panel met on 22 September 2026 to consider three items: the West Glamorgan regional transformation programme, the improvement actions after the inspection of Swansea North Community Mental Health Team, and transport for adult day services. The minute records one agreed outcome: the Panel agreed that mental health services should remain an area for continued scrutiny. No decisions are recorded on the other two items, which were presented for information.
At its first meeting of the 2026-27 year on 21 July 2026, the Adult Services Scrutiny Performance Panel confirmed Cllr Susan Jones as Convener and agreed its role. It considered inspection reports on care services, performance figures for May 2026 and progress on the Council's Better Care commitments. It agreed its 2026-27 work plan, adding an update on the Community Mental Health Team inspection.
The Panel considered the Adult Services performance report for November 2025, covering demand, early help, reablement, care at home and safeguarding. It also heard an update on the Adult Services Transformation and Improvement Programme. The minutes record no decisions. The only action recorded is to arrange a visit to the Smart Suite, a technology demonstration facility, early in the new municipal year.
At its meeting on 8 December 2025, the Adult Services Scrutiny Performance Panel received a briefing on recent inspections of The Hollies and St John's care homes, a presentation on the Council's internal day services, and an update on Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). The minutes record no formal decisions, except that the Panel welcomed the inspection results and asked for its thanks to be passed to staff, and officers agreed to share the day services slides.
