On Monday 19th June Ruth Buchan and Sue Stephens met with Seamus Gallagher from the Surrey Service Development Team and Lance Miles, Head of Residential Services, for further discussions on the linkage between the new Freemantles and the Respite Provision. There are many strategic and operational aspects which need to be planned, and this will be an ongoing process. At this meeting a timeline was drawn up to highlight when different actions need to be taken, in particular the recruitment of the new Care Manager and care staff.
