Decision
The Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and
Public Health has agreed to delegate authority to the Executive Director for Adult
Social Care and Public Health to:
Reasons for Decision
1. One of the most ambitious programmes ever introduced across the NHS and local government, the BCF encourages integration by requiring CCGs and local authorities to enter into pooled budget arrangements and agree an integrated spending plan. The BCF national condition for grant funding is that a signed Section 75 Agreement is in place between the Local Authority and the CCG. If this condition is not met, NHS England is able to direct the CCG in our Health and Wellbeing Board area as to the use of the funding.
2. With the recent changes in the NHS West London Clinical Commissioning Group to NHS North West London Clinical Commissioning Group there is a need to have a new Section 75 Agreement in place.
3. A Cabinet Member decision is required as the local authority will be incurring expenditure which is, or the making of savings which are, significant having regard to the relevant local authority’s budget for the service or function to which the decision relates or has significant local impact on communities living across two or more wards of the borough.
