“Staffordshire has a large number of both care homes and elderly people and consequently we have more Deprivation of Liberty safeguarding applications to consider than most local authorities.
New legislation had been promised to improve the processes but unfortunately has been delayed. We have raised this directly with the Secretary of State and in the meantime have agreed to provide extra funding for the additional capacity we will require.”
Julia Jessel, Cabinet Member for Health and Care |

Decision – (a) That the procurement of additional capacity to support the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards process be approved.
