Reasons for Decision

Westminster City Council (WCC) has clear duties around service provision and prevention under the Care Act 2014. The Council must provide or arrange services that help prevent people developing needs for care and support or delay people deteriorating such that they would need ongoing care and support.

 

These older people’s day opportunities preventative services are required to meet the statutory duties as well as the aims and objectives of the Council.
