Mrs Jupp said: “We wait to see how things progress and when we get the call for the visit.”

She was full of praise for the staff, who have had to put everything together while continuing with business as usual.

She added: “The adult social care team worked really hard on this, led by Alan Sinclair, and I’m very proud of what they’ve done.”

Nine care assessments have been published nationwide since they started in 2023.
