We’ve been hearing that there some major changes happening at Medina Centre in Newport.
VB understand that the Isle of Wight council has sent the IW Health authority a notice terminating the contract between them.
There’s a year’s notice to run, but we understand that, given the health authority has employment contracts with some of these staff that are a year long, some actions will be taken to end employment at the Medina Centre.
The Medina Centre has a wide range of activities for adults with learning disabilities from 18 to retirement age, both Centre and community based.
Update 13:07: The Isle of Wight council is changing the way services are delivered, moving to Personalisation, where people will be able to make their own choices as to where their previously centrally-administered funds are spent.
We’re going through the process of checking further details. More soon.
