Issue - meetings

Consideration has been given to accepting funds from the Integrated Care Board (ICB) via a section 256 (NHS Act 2006) Agreement for use on:

·        health inequalities supporting people with multiple and complex healthcare needs

·        vaccine inequalities and

·        to support the operation of the Deep End Network Programme and Steering Group.

RESOLVED -

(i)

That the acceptance of ICB funding for the purposes outlined in the report via a section 256 (NHS Act 2006) Agreement be approved.

(ii)

That the Director of Public Health be authorised to enter into such funding agreement as necessary, in consultation with the Strategic Director, Resources and Digital and the Strategic Director, Corporate Services and Governance, to facilitate the funding transfer.

The above decisions have been made to secure more health gain than an equivalent expenditure of money in the NHS and enable effective delivery and reporting and the success of the programmes.
