Minutes:

Consideration was given to an update in relation to the Analogue to Digital Telecare Switchover. It was highlighted that all telephone lines within the UK are migrating from analogue lines to digital ones and that the deadline for this is June 2025 with this being led by industry (the telephone providers) and that due to this, Telecare need to switch analogue devices to ones that are compatible with a digital telephone line (broadband) or which operate over the mobile signal.

It was highlighted that there is a programme to swap over all analogue units with digital ones and that it was currently being rolled out and that the Telecare team are continuing to focus on those who have already moved onto a digital line and those who live in areas of very good mobile signal.

It was noted that 46.5% of all clients in 撸sir视频 and Bute currently have a digitally capable telecare device and it was highlighted that if people do go to a digital line but live in an area with no mobile signal, that they have a work-around solution that enables them to still have telecare whilst they are awaiting connection via broadband/the digital line. It was advised that the Telecare team will continue to support both analogue and digital telecare devices for as long as required and will not be insisting that people have to be on a digital line in order to receive telecare if they still have an analogue line in the property.
