A decision to cease services at the New Tyne care home in Worthing is being reviewed again after councillors triggered a formal call-in.

West Sussex County Council accepted the request after new feedback emerged from a recent consultation that hadn’t been available when the issue was first examined in September.

The Health and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee will reconsider the decision on Friday, the 21st of November.

A West Sussex County Council spokesperson said: “We understand this period of uncertainty is difficult for all concerned and our priority, whilst ensuring that all democratic processes are followed, is to continue to support the residents and staff impacted by this decision.” 

 

If HASC supports the original decision, the decision will come into effect from the end of the meeting, and implementation will begin from Monday, 24 November. 

If the committee recommends changes or withdrawal, these will be considered by the Cabinet Member, whose subsequent decision will be final.
