The closure of Lincoln House as a respite and rehabilitation resource was postponed last year until at least the end of 2015 following pressure from ADCA and others. Then on June 30th, Cheshire East published a proposal to close Lincoln House at the end of 2015 and obtain respite care from the private sector. This has caused considerable dismay among those most affected, and this "call-in" of the decision is the result.
The agenda for Health and Adult Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee, Friday, 7th August, 2015, 2.00 pm has just been published and item 6 on the agenda is
