It was agreed that an external partner would be commissioned to conduct an options appraisal, expected to provide evidence and recommendations against each of the options below: 1. Retain the service as is, ensuring we maximise its use as an alternative to commissioned care packages as the first priority / or to support clients who the external market struggles to provide for/cost of external provision is prohibitive, e.g. dementia with challenging behaviour 2. Insource current commissioned services 3. Consider decommissioning parts of the in-house service; appraise the options for the voluntary or external providers to deliver these more effectively 4. A mix of 2 and 3 above, with advice provided on the implication of an outcome which leaves some services with the Council and outsources others and whether this will leave a viable and safe in house service. 5. Maximising Careline response service income targets as well as looking at the funding levels for this service. 6.
