Purpose

In July 2024, BCP Cabinet and Full Council
agreed:
1. To support the business case for a new Adult Social Care (ASC)
transformation delivery model to improve outcomes for residents and
to achieve financial efficiencies and savings.
2. Establishment of a formal Adult Social Care four-year
transformation programme called Fulfilled Lives, approving in
principle a total investment of up to £2.9m across the first
three years.
3. The release of an initial £1.79m was approved for the
first year of the programme to facilitate mobilisation, completion
of the design and scope stage, and to commence the delivery phase
from January 2025.
4. The Health and Adult Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee
would provide regular scrutiny of progress towards benefits and
sustainable change.
The programme entered its delivery phase in January 2025 and is
making good progress towards implementing the necessary changes to
achieve the anticipated benefits, and savings of £3.5m
recurring by year four.
This report provides an update on progress with recommendations for
investment in the next phase of the programme.
