'Lessons learned' from care shake-up row

CITY leader Jenny Dawe today insisted that lessons have been learned from the botched care and support retendering earlier this year.

Council chiefs faced strong criticism over attempts to retender the care of hundreds of the city's most vulnerable people, but a new commissioning strategy has now been drawn up.

Councillor Dawe said: "The main lesson learned is that, although we were very keen to engage with people properly, people did not have that impression at the time."
